This is the result of my investigations concerning the PDF export.

First, in a 2.7 wiki farm in url path mode, the "includechilds" parameter
doesn't work except in the main wiki. This doesn't generate an error nor a
warning, but the pdf file includes only the starting page.

Other point, in a simple wiki (not a member of a farm), the includechilds
parameter works fine but only the images of the starting page are included
in the pdf. To be clear : the images included in the children pages don't
appear in the generated pdf.

Could someone confirm/reproduce theses 2 bugs ? I will create the jira
issues.

So, we tried to produce the document using an external tool HtmlDoc (
http://www.htmldoc.org) that converts html files in a pdf doc. First we have
to develop a special skin because HtmlDoc doesn't support CSS, then the 1.8
release of HtmlDoc doesn't support UTF8, so the generated doc contains a lot
of awful characters. Finally, it is not a good solution.
