 Hi
 After using the current Netsurf(25/04/10)r10482 I tried to export the
 webpage as a PDF.
 I went into the export.PDF stage and dragged the file to a directory
 but the file isn't deposited and it doesn't seem to have been saved.
 Though it gives the impression it had.
 I tried exporting as a DRAW and TXT file and that worked and shows in
 a directory, but not a PDF.

 Has this option been disabled?

Confirmed that the same happens here. RISC OS 5.16, FWIW. Do you want 
to put in a bug report?

With best wishes,

Peter.

At this point, a bug report won't really help, except if the report says that
disabled behaviour still appears in the menu.

PDF Export is disabled because porting it to the new content/cache model was
seen as too much work to achieve by 2.5's release deadline.

We would like to re-enable the functionality, but we have more pressing things
to deal with right now.

Regards,

Daniel.

Wake up at the back there, Young. It's been pointed out to me off-list 
that the changelog for 2.5 specifically mentions the disablement of 
PDF export. Apologies!

Presumably printing with the new PS3 drivers to PrintPDF would work? 
Just tried, and, no, it doesn't seem to, with the pages I've tried.

With best wishes,

Peter.

I haven't tried PrintPDF but the PS3 output is fine with NetSurf 2.5
except that the web page contents doesn't get reflown for the selected
print page size (the latter logged as ID 2993199).
