Just wondered whether this looked/worked okay.

Click on the [pdf version] button near the top. It just makes a pdf of the printable page view. (It prompts to download instead of opening within the tab/window).
What's the opinion? Btw, that thread is just full of meaningless nonsense. 
Cheers,
Matt

I think you might be better off modifying pdfgen just to take an ID.

Good point. I'll get the old thinking gear on that one. It's a bit beta'ish in setup at the moment, as it calls the viewprintable script, and uses the output from that. I haven't set it up to use the default method of pulling info directly from the page. Wanted it as more of an archive the printable topic view option, rather than a full generate pdf of any page option.
Sorted. 
How's the setup now? It still only does topics, but it has a graceful exit now.
Looks okay to me.
Cheers. It's been an absolute bugger to get working nicely though.
It's based on this: http://tufat.com/s_html2ps_html2pdf.htm
Not exactly what one might call the lightest of software, but requires far less intensive scripting than the alternatives I've found so far.
Incorporated it into the articles section too now. Does this 12x12 icon look okay, btw?
Or is this one better?

I dont like it. 
Nick the wordpress pdf icon, thats pretty cool.
Do they have a small version of that, or just the 32x32 that's in the download? Tried scaling that one down, but you can hardly tell what it is once it gets down to 12x12.

Fair comment.
I hate producing small pictures.... They never come out like you want them too.

Too true. It is awfully limiting on ones artistic prowess at that size ain't it.
Same topic, slightly different question. I've implemented caching on the pdf feed now. Any chance someone could double check it's feeding okay, not corrupting, etc? Working fine from this end, but ne'er hurts to double check. First click on the pdf icon now creates the cache and feeds from it, and the second click just feeds directly from the cached copy unless the thread/article has been updated.
Well, decided to call it a day with the html2pdf, and switched over to TCPDF. Output is nowhere near as pretty, (doesn't have the CSS support), but by christ, it's a damned sight less flaky than the previous software/parser. When it decided to work smoothly, it could easily ramp up stupid amounts of memory whilst parsing/processing. Set the PHP mem limit upto 256MB at one point, and it still ditched. So, thought sod that for a lark and switched. This one, (http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_d … p_dp=tcpdf), is far less intensive, but still has a fairly straight forward API that doesn't require cartloads of cryptic pointers.
Okey dokey. Managed to appropriate an icon which didn't rescale too badly. What's the opinion on the first icon in that post above?
