[dokuwiki] Re: pdf export


Ah, bugger, this require line is not needed. Always introduce yourself with buggy code, right ;-) Sorry, my bad and thanks. Corrected file is attached.

This is my configuration:
// Path to Ghostscript executable
define('GS_PATH','/usr/bin/gs');

// Path to font metric files (AFM files).
// NOTE: Trailing backslash required
define('TYPE1_FONTS_REPOSITORY',HTML2PS_DIR."/fonts");

The afm files were already present there, additionally I copied according ttf font files manually to the same folder. Seemed to work. But overall, to get the html2pdf library working, try first with the /demo/index.php script supplied by them. It has a web form where you can fiddle with different options and so...

br,

Hi Heikko,
I tried here to fiddle about with this code,

for a start the script "destination.prodownload.class.php"
doesn't seem to be present. I only found
"destination.download.class.php".

I seem to have got it all running with the folowing configuration in the
config file:

// Path to Ghostscript executable
define('GS_PATH','/usr/bin/gs');

// Path to font metric files (AFM files). // NOTE: Trailing backslash required
define('TYPE1_FONTS_REPOSITORY',"/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/");


However it only returned a blank pdf page.

Hi!

I created a simple (well, more or less) solution to get the wiki
content
into a pdf file. Now I'm asking for comments, suggestions and a
second 
opinion.

Here's what worked for me:
1) I donwloaded the "html2ps and html2pdf" PHP library from http://www.tufat.com/script19.htm. It worked amazingly vell for
almost
every html page I tested it with (has image support, loads of options and so on)

2) Based on the samples in html2pdf I created the attached
url2pdf.php
script into 'samples' directory of html2pdf and configured the whole thing work in my webserver.

3) Now we reach the connection to dokuwiki. In the main.php I added manually a PDF button (I really could not find a way to create the button automagically with dokuwiki scripts as these allowed only
posting
to dokuwiki itself). So here's the listing of the PDF button code
which 
I placed right after the History button:

<form class="button" method="get" action="http://localhost/html2pdf/samples/url2pdf.php";><div class="no"><input type="hidden" name="url" value="<?=

"http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" /><input
type="submit" value="Save as PDF" class="button" title="ALT+F" accesskey="f" /></div></form>

4) The result - I have button which prompts me of saving the page as PDF. Very useful. And quite clean.

So it's kind of a hack, and I am writing because if there's a better
way
to create the button and to know the _real_ _absolute_ url for the current wiki page then please let me know. If you find it any other
way
useful or someone can import this to be a dokuwiki feature then this would be even nicer.


best regards,
Heikko
