PDF your members Gallery if such a thing?

Recommended Posts

Hi there. Just wondered if it will be possible to provide a function so that we can export our members gallery as a PDF export file so that we can keep an electronic copy of it on file for safe keeping ?

Kinda, yes.

If you look just above your post, there's a 'Thread Tools' link. Hover over that and choose 'Show Printable Version'.

This will make your thread show all as one page - ideal from printing.

 

Then, Mac users, just choose 'Save as PDF...'.

Windows users, you need to install a PDF Printer - not scary though, and free.

I'd recommend the CutePDF Printer. Download and install both of these files:

http://www.cutepdf.com/download/CuteWriter.exe

http://www.cutepdf.com/download/converter.exe

 

Now you should have "CutePDF Writer" as a Printer installed on your PC.

With this - return to the printable version of the page and choose Print. Choose CutePDF Writer from the list of printers and hit Print.

A 'Save As...' dialogue box will then appear, allowing you to Save the PDF it just created to your PC.

 

This of course will now work for any other program or site you wish to 'PDF' in the future, too.

For me it doesn't display images or the whole thread, is there something else I should be aware of?

Hmmm, good point... *researches*

Right - the "Print Version" purposely removes images to save ink.

I can kinda see it's point but of course it ruins the above idea!!

 

It's too much of an arse to change (would be a major code change!) so I'd suggest installing the PDF viewer as above, then just printing the standard view.

You can view 40 posts at a time by changing the "Number of posts to show per page" under "Thread Display Options" in General Settings: http://the-corrado.net/profile.php?do=editoptions

 

 

Sorry, not perfect, but CF isn't going anywhere... :)
