Re: [Zope] Re: Newbie: Creating PDF Documents on the fly in Zope
Thanks for the help. I've tried that one before. It seemed to work fine until I actually tried to view the PDF (ie add the /html2pdf extension). The page that appears is blank (at least on my machine .. no source code at all - but no "Page Not Found" error either). I looked at the manual, and only the version that you pay for seems to have the functionality that we need. Since we want to try it out before even thinking about paying for a product, that one isn't really an option. Besides, from what I've been told it doesn't allow for page breaks, etc in the way that we'd like. Thank you once again for your help.

I have a few pages in Zope generating info gained from an Interbase DB. The pages are fine, except we also want a user to be able to click a button on these pages and generate a PDF document for printing, looking pretty much the same but with all the necessary page breaks and associated headers/footers. What's about this how to? http://www.zope.org/Members/mjablonski/howtoPDF
It seems to be easy of implement.

How about using an external method and html2pdf http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/5247/ ie. store the html file in a temp location if you dont need to keep it around, convert it and send that back hth AM Ashley Lloyd wrote:

Actually it has worked fine for me on Linux and FreeBSD using the free version of HTMLDOC. also look at reportlab which includes an example external method for this written by one of the regular posters on this list. <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:george@zettai.net
