Looking again at the print to pdf idea again. I'm thinking that using wkhtmltopdf http://wkhtmltopdf.org/
In combination with the php wrapper phpwkhtmltopdf https://github.com/mikehaertl/phpwkhtmltopdf PROS: - Both are open source - The pdf creation will be done by the underlying server so as not to overwork the mahara system. - wkhtmltopdf has packages for debian / ubuntu / windows / osx - wkhtmltopdf is an established system and is being actively worked on. - allows pdf creation of a page generated from url or from html markup passed to it - will allow a collection to be created as one pdf and have index page as first page (if static version is installed, see CONS) - could be possible to create a resume pdf from all the pieces of information in the resume and profile sections. CONS: - need to install wkhtmltopdf separately from installing mahara (basic install no harder than installing something like elasticsearch) - need to install the static version to get access to all the goodies like index page creation, adding hyperlinks in page creation etc. and this is a non trivial process -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Triaged Bug description: It would be good to be able export a view in a way that was suitable for good quality printing, so that a resume view created in Mahara could then be used to create a printed resume for posting. Export to pdf would also allow the resume to be e-mailed.
