Description

You can use the PDF export panels to access otherwise hidden PDF Export options. Using the panel, you'll be able to use an UI to:

  • Define whether to display the cover page and the table of contents
  • Include children and linked-to pages in the export
  • Insert pagebreaks between pages

The full list of PDF export options is available here.

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.

You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:

  1. Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
  2. Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
  4. Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
  5. You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki

Ue the Panel Wizard to display it next to wiki pages on your wiki.

Release Notes

v1.1

This small bugfix release fixes this issue.

Replaced the panel UI to use paragraphs and labels instead of tables.

v1.0

This version provides the initial feature set. You can now export children pages easily.

Please note that the code used to provide the functionality isn't really clean (rough HTML & Velocity) and as such might be subject to occasional unexpected breakages.

When comments are included, their content doesn't seem to be exported for some reason.
