Yepp, printing is not basically a Magnolia issue.
In addition you can of course write your own jsp script for printing,
e.g. have a "print" button and then use a template script to do
whatever you want to do.
If you want to create a document "on-the-fly", you can use e.g. the
iText library to generate a PDF.
And if you visit the "Magnolia Developer Training", you will have a
sample how to do that (new trainings will start in April, based on Mg
4).
But as Will mentioned, generating a PDF might be "overengineered" if
you just want to allow printing of a page. However, a print script to
pass only some content paragraphs to a printer might the browser-
printing, which prints the whole Web page.

Add a print CSS to your page - This is a common HTML problem and has
nothing to do with Magnolia.
To answer your question about PDF: No, this feature does not exist
in Magnolia. There are however some libraries that can do this.
Google is your friend here. So one could add this functionality.
IMO converting a webpage to PDF only to get it out of the printer is
not user friendly.

Hi
We want to print the web pages generated by magnolia, when we hit
print then it does print pages but soem of the matter is cut off,
especially the images on a A4 size paper. Is there any
functionality in Magnolia where by we could export the data
genearted on the page to a pdf document on the fly and then print it?
I was wondering if anyone has come across this before and has found
a solution to it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Kind Regards
