It’s strange that a recent one such as http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/PDF+Export+Collection+Application doesn’t work. > Does anybody have a tip for me how I can achieve the export in a somewhat > elegant manner ?

Yes it will. It’s been on the roadmap several times in the past already and because other stuff took precedence it’s not been implemented yet but it’s getting high on our todo list. Now my hunch is that it’s been postponed because there are alternatives (the 5-6 extensions that do this) so people are not blocked. If they don’t work their authors need to fix them but first you need to tell them what doesn’t work for you :) <aside> BTW, there’s a way to speed up implementing a feature, it’s by sponsoring some devs to work on that feature. The page at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support#HProfessionalSupport also shows a list of companies active in the development of the XWiki project and I’m sure you could contact them to sponsor the development of the multipage export for example, if that’s something important for you. </aside> Thanks -Vincent > Thanks , > Kristof _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
