Re: [WikiEducator] PDF and Books download problem
Hi David, Just a quick note to let you know that Jim has the wiki == pdf extension running on the new servers. BIG thanks Jim. We still have a little work to tweak the print specific versions of the pedagogical templates, updating the help files etc, but all of this is on the to do list. There is also a beta version running where you can download a collection in OpenOffice's odt format -- still a few bugs with images, captions and tables -- but rather cool because users can download a WikiEducator educator collection for localisation offline on their desktops :-) Appreciate your patience -- but each day we're getting closer to a better future for education using open networks and free content :-) Cheers Wayne On 12 February 2010 18:45, David Leeming leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sbwrote: Wayne, I am having problems with the PDF download and Book feature with most or all of the pages in this site http://wikieducator.org/OLPC_Tuvalu The this one, it only contains some text and tables http://wikieducator.org/OLPC_Tuvalu/Deployment/Governance I am getting an error about the “provided file handle not writable in /usr/local/wm-svn/extensions/Collection/collection.body.php on line 1342” Can you replicate this error?

RE: [WikiEducator] PDF and Books download problem
Jim, Many thanks for getting that going! The odt download is excellent! Just what the doctor ordered. Very excited about that. Regarding PDF, the old collections tended to be quite large; did you do anything regarding optimising the compression in the PDF generator? David Leeming Leeming Consulting, P.O.

Very excited about that. Yes, the odt format downloads could be interesting in the future. (Especially when combined with OpenOffice wikitext exporting.) Regarding PDF, the old collections tended to be quite large; did you do anything regarding optimising the compression in the PDF generator? No, sorry. The extension has been written by PediaPress http://code.pediapress.com/. I think part of the size stems from their image handling which is general, but leads to large file sizes. I had wondered about it a while ago and found they do have an open issue on that particular aspect: http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/463 There has also been discussion over the past year or two about allowing user customization of the rendering, but nobody has contributed a working solution yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.
