Description

This ticket aims to collect and discuss ideas regarding options for the PDF rendering.

Currently there are two ways to get custom layouted PDFs:

  • install your own mw-serve and customize pdfstlyes.py
  • download collections as ODF and apply a custom formatting using openoffice, optionally export to PDF

One note regarding the implementation of layouting options:

  • adding them to the pdfwriter is easy (usable with a dedicated PDF server for a site)
  • adding them to the collection extension UI is rather hard (involves passing the options through numerous applications and data structures)
