aws.pdfbook 1.0.0b1

Instance wide

In your buildout.cfg file:

[buildout]
...
eggs =
  ...
  aws.pdfbook

We assume that:

• The site charset is utf-8

• The server buffer for downloading has 40000 bytes.

Otherwise you can change these default values in your zope.conf or in buildout.cfg like this:

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
...
zope-conf-additional =
  ...
  <product-config aws.pdfbook>
  # Your site charset (default: utf-8)
  site-charset utf-8
  # The download buffer bytes size (default: 40000)
  download-buffer-size 40000
  </product-config>
  ...

Plone site

In your Plone site go to the ‘Site Setup’ page and click on the ‘Add/Remove Products’ link.

Choose aws.pdfbok (check its checkbox) and click the ‘Install’ button.

The go as soon as possible to the PDF Book configuration panel and configure according to your system settings and your layout preferences.

More particularly, you may change default pdfbook options. See the pdfbook documentation for the various available options.

Other setups

It is strongly recommanded to use linking with UID in your visual editor preferences. Otherwise images may not display in topics prints.

Customizing default templates in ZMI

Open your Plone site in ZMI, then the portal_view_customization object.

Click on a link printlayout that suits the interface of the content items you want to customize.

Change the template as you prefer…

Add a template for your content types

Assuming you have a personal content type that implements the myproduct.interfaces.IMyContentType interface, You must add a view like this one:

<browser:page
   name="printlayout"
   for="myproduct.interfaces.IMyContentType"
   layer="aws.pdfbook.interfaces.IAWSPDFBookLayer"
   permission="zope.Public"
   template="templates/mycontenttype.pt"
   />

Keep the following attributes as above:

• name="printlayout"

• layer="aws.pdfbook.interfaces.IAWSPDFBookLayer"

• permission="zope.Public"

Examples for standard content types are provided in the browser/transformers.zcml configuration and associated files.

Otherwise aws.pdfbook provides a default template that may or may not fit with paper layout.

If the default layout for personal or third party content types is somehow awful, you may blacklist such content types in the configuration panel.
