That’s cool. Thanks Vincent ☺
I finally got some time (and was forced to) look at implementing changes to the
print formatting. I had some mixed results. I’ll document what I’ve done below
and the bits I am having some trouble with and hopefully someone can provide me
with further tips.
1. I managed to format the PDF Export output by attaching a pdf.css file
to my custom skin application (as per
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Skin+Application). This
has mostly worked for straightforward items like headers and font. But I am
having trouble with some of my tables and it would help if I could reduce the
margins of the page.
QUESTION: Is there a simple way to modify the margins (I need narrower margins)
2. I tried to format the printed output but found that attaching a
print.css to my skin application did very little/nothing to format the output.
I tested by creating an article in the Sandbox, Clicking “More Actions”
“Print Preview” Press Ctrl+P. This was testing in Chrome and Firefox with the
same effect/results.
3. I then found that there were several @Media=”Print” sections in the
Style.css file. So I downloaded this, removed the @Media sections and
re-attached my new style.css to my skin application. This now allowed my
formatting in the attached print.css to take effect. So this now works and
looks as I would expect. But I don’t really like the idea of having my own
style.css as it’ll make it more difficult to take advantage of any new
formatting changes that may be added later (unless I’ve missed the point here)
4. I have locked down the xwiki so that only registered and logged in
users can view any of the documents. Unfortunately this now means that
style.css is not accessible on the login page. I have modified the access
rights on the skin application and given view permissions to XWikiAllGroup but
I suspect I need to somehow give access to guests but I can’t see how to do
that.
Sorry for the long email and I hope I’ve explained clearly. Any help greatly
appreciated (as always).
Kind regards,
Mahomed

Except print.css another way of 'printing' XWiki pages would be to
customize the PDF export, but this step is more complicated (you need to do
modifications to pdf templates, XHTML2FO XSL and FOP XSL transformations,
etc.), see
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HCustomizingthePDFexportLook26Feel
Depends on what you need to do.
Have fun,

Oh! I forgot to mention we are running 7.0.1 and a custom skin/theme
based
on the flamingo skin.

Hi
Is there a way of printing the pages as they are displayed? Ideally
printing without the side panel, but with all the different
colours/formatting as it appears on the screen would be ideal. At the
moment all colours and formatting is stripped if you try to print
directly
from the page, using the print preview option or by exporting to PDF.
I have tried an export to HTML and then using the local html
