[geeklog-devel] PDF feature....

[Blaine Lang]

Hi Tony,

I think this would be usefull and nice if there was a new optional function
that plugins could call to create a pdf from data they are managing as well.

I've looked at the PHP PDF funcitions and it appeared to not be too
involved. I just have not had the client request yet so I left it on the
side for now.

This weekend I'm going to be polishing a PDF generator that a buddy from
work built.  Long story short is I have a working hack that allows you
to view any Geeklog article as a PDF.  The way it works is it send the
printmode HTML to a PDF generator which saves the resulting PDF into a
directory.  Most of my work is going to be code clean up and then adding
a few simple $_CONF vars.  I figured having it will let you all decide
on how else we might use the thing.

I've attached a sample PDF generated using the tool from our Geeklog
intranet site.
