I'm agree with you, Tino. Plone has a lot of ugly features (as KSS, for instance) Perhaps someone has a better solution for this issue I only want to generate a PDF with the print view of a plone point Plone2PDF will be ok but only works with Plone 2.5 or less 2008/10/8 Tino Wildenhain <tino@wildenhain.de>

Perhaps is better if I explain you what I'm trying to do
Imagine a Plone site (I know there are a plone list but this is a generic question, sorry if not)
I configure it in the way if you put a parameter ?print the plone point renders as when you push the print button at the bottom of the point
For example: plone_site_url/front-page?print renders the plone front page with the print.css sytle
Now I want to get the rendered code of this point as string to pass it to PDFNode.renderAsPdf (it expect a string with the HTML and the name of the generated pdf)
Did you know how can I get the html code of an url with get parameters?
just context['front-page'](print=True) ?
Perhaps but this puts print on options/args/print or options/print in the page_template scope, isn't it?
In my way to solve this I use request/form/print because plone_css use tal expressions and request is passed to it
This would be very ugly. However in this case just set context.REQUEST or context.REQUEST.form accordingly
