Hi there, i agree with W. Martin Bogert and i'm not satisfied either. In addition i have found the following caveats. I hope we speak about trac 0.11.x.
* the PDF cannot handle the output of the [[TOC]] Macro. It's too bad about the missing Table of Contens. * i don't know any possibilities to set something like headers or footers specially for the PDF-Output (Logo / Disclaimers and so on). It would be a great advance to solve this points, sadly i'm not that crack to do it by myself. (If i find a valuable how-to for such challanges i'm willing to lay my hands on it). sincerely yours Ice 2009/2/19 W.
