pdf

Regards.

I've been asked about this possibility: create a site containing a product list. This is the easy part. The difficult part is having everytime a PDF copy of this product list, that is having an up-to-date printable catalog, with cover and all that.

You get the point? Instead of having a printed catalog and a dude updating the website stuff, we only keep updated the website's product list and generate a new version of the catalog, including cover and other stuff, pressing "click" somewhere in the website.

Är det någon som har någon bra erfarenhet av utskrift till skrivare och till PDF, från Drupal (6), via någon modul eller program som fungerar på en Linuxserver?
Det finns lite moduler som vi testat men det blir inte riktigt bra. Sen finns det möjlighet att gå via html2ps och ps2pdf osv.
Tänkte att någon här kanske har något tips på lyckad väg att gå.

I am looking for an experienced PHP / Drupal developer

I found two disturbing issues when creating a PDF or a Tex file from a node.

First, the PDF is not updated, once it is created the first time. The reason is this test located in the drutex_node2pdf_wrapper function:

I just commented the test in my site. PDF should be generated each time it is requested, as node might have been updated in the meanwhile.

Hi folks:

I've been playing around with the module, and I found an error when converting html tags to latex commands (more precisely, when converting the tag <em> to the \emph{} command).

For some reason I got a "\" before the opening curly bracket, so the command - \emph{ whatever } - was not properly recongized.

I finally was able to release a development version of the PDF-IDcard module. This module allows a site to create templates that consist of a background image and User's data. This template is then rendered into a PDF file that is meant to be printed on badge printer. Currently MNN is printing their badges using a standard inkjet printer, cutting the paper and then laminating the "card".

This module could be very easily modified (or some quick code written) to create a PDF book with pages for every user account to allow for mass badge printing.

Let's plan an informal roadmap for Pdfview.

What do you need from a Drupal PDF module? Do you need it to format a web page just to send it to the printer, or do you need it to generate a document like an invoice, a book, or catalogue?

How much theming and customization flexibility do you need?
