I've been using wicked to finally document procedures and software
nuances for my systems (something that has dogged me for five years,
because I've always wanted something that serves as a live document
that multiple people can edit and Word documents on a file server don't
cut it). The concept of a Wiki is essentially what I want and since I
have Horde, Wicked becomes my de facto Wiki implementation.
The next step is to be able to export Wiki entries into a PDF format,
which allows me to throw a bunch of files on a server somewhere
(essentially looking to snapshot my Wiki entries, for the rainy day
when my database or Horde install goes Kaput). I can also print the
PDFs and get some dead tree formats, in the event that everything goes
Kaput.
So is there an easy method/class to take whats on screen and dump it to
PDF? The Cadillac version of that would be to allow selection of which
pages to include, to allow a user to essentially create a book, by
choosing pages/chapters, and outputting them all into a single PDF.
Somewhere along the line, I remember someone (Chuck?) mentioning
extending wicked to output to PDF, but I can't find the email at the
moment.
