turn topic nito PDF?

[ikillbill]

Hi

will it be a good idea to have a function to turn topic or post into PDF with embeded water mark?

You need special third party scripts or PHP extensions to manipulate PDF files.

surely you just print it to pdf ?

Firefox has a nice add-on, pdfit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7528/

I like it.

In my opinion possibility to save .pdf could be better solution than .doc

I agree, Axel, however as I said, it requires a special PDF extension in PHP (which most people don't have), or special third party scripts to generate a PDF at the script level. Thus, it's not realistic to include support at this time out of the box (though I'd think a modification could do it relatively easily).

I posed same question here:

How does joomla do it?

This is a custom generated PDF

Perhaps a way to disable images in pdf conversion would be ideal.

I do like the idea even though I see pdf it self as a outdated file formate.
