Cool Surfer Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It is worth considering, if there is an option above all opics to download it as a pdf file. SOMETHING WHAT MAMBO HAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke37 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That would be a pain for the visual designers for little to no gain compared to just saving the html page. It is a must have feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I hate opening .pdf files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieTang Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I hate opening .pdf files. Agreed... >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Perhaps an option would be agreeable? It sucks that the low-fi version uses the default background color, I do know that IPB3 will be better about the lo-fi version but a administrative choice of PDF or not may be nice. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3773 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Even if IPB 3 doesn't have this, I think it would be a cool mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Firstly, to "create" PDF's you either need some PHP library (I've seen some that can do it) to do it, or server-level addons (e.g. PHP modules or some other server level application). Given the license schemes of the various non-server-based PDF generation scripts I've seen, I don't think we'd be able to ship them. Thus, there isn't a reliable way to add this. You can't just "create" PDFs - you need software that can do it. Modders looking to do it, you'd need to grab one of the followinghttp://us.php.net/pdfhttp://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpag...?aiocp_dp=tcpdfhttp://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-phphttp://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-php Just google it - I think there's some others (I've seen ones that make you do postscript, then convert it to ghostscript or something like that).

W13 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 An alternative is screenshotting and saving as PNG or JPG ... you can use the Fireshot extension for Firefox to do this... "Capture entire page". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I know Mac does this, and I thought Vista did too... If you go to File > Print, there's an option to Save as PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if they all don't support it, I don't use it.I know Mac does this, and I thought Vista did too... If you go to File > Print, there's an option to Save as PDF. Only if they have a PDF creator is install, if I'm correct. For Windows anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertimber2009 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Well Microsoft tried to add PDF support into Vista, and Adobe sent legal threats to remove it. So you'll have to just hammer Adobes servers once, get the software and be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
