Print options * When printing, there should be a bunch of available options (WikiPublisher.org is a great example) * Most common options are shown by default, and the others in an advanced tab * Since users tend to each have preferred default settings, system should remember last recent print. Ex. with cookies * Default options are Tiki prefs. overridable by perspective !!! List of options !!!! Tiki options * With / without logo / header * With / without footer ** Option to show / hide: The original document is available at ... (which by the way doesn't site language) * Cover page * Table of Content -> Ideas to improve at ((dev:maketoc)) ** JavaScript ** Via wkhtmltopdf ** None * Embellish text via ((typography)) lib. * Links ** Hide ** Show underline and external link icon ** Put link as footnote ** Put link just after label * PluginMouseOver ** Hide ** Show as sidenote ** Show as footer * PluginTabs ** Print current ** Print all * + / - for headers and bullet list, or PluginFade ** Print current ** Open all * PluginVersions ** Print current ** Print all !!!! Feature option * Wiki page may have different options than printing a tracker item !!!! Print engine alternatives * mPDF is a very powerful PHP library * wkhtmltopdf is the reference PDF generator and has many options: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt ** phpwkhtmltopdf and Snappy should make them all available to Tiki * WeasyPrint is a Python library * PhantomJS would be an interesting alternative: http://phantomjs.org/api/webpage/property/paper-size.html ** https://github.com/jonnnnyw/php-phantomjs * SlimerJS now has PDF options: https://github.com/laurentj/slimerjs/pull/195 {HTML()}<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.openhub.net/p/slimerjs/widgets/project_factoids_stats?format=js'></script>{HTML} !!!! Print engine options See [http://www.mpdfonline.com/repos/mpdfmanual.pdf|mPDF manual] for a large number of examples * PDF outlines ** Table of content -> Ideas to improve at: ((dev:maketoc)) * Header / Footer (Page numbers, title, date / time of print) * Watermark * Page sizes (A4, letter, etc) and options * Print as user X or group Y, which can use to personalize or redact text. Can we use PluginGroup or should be go for creating a PluginRedact? * etc. !! Other ideas * It would be nice to use a wiki page to make the template to layout the header / footer / etc. * Maybe there should be a way to override some mPDF params via a wiki plugin? ex: force a page break. This page in landscape mode. force another page break. This page in portrait mode. Ex.: {print break=page} {print layout=portrait} !!
