[xwiki-devs] Exposing PDF Export Options

Hi, I was writing a piece of code so that PDF export prints associated meta data of a page. Since I was in PDF macros code, I worked on a PDF export options page. By working on the PDF export options, I am using check boxes that allows user to choose to export or not cover page, toc page, metadata page attachments and comments. Issue I encountered is that when a check box is not checked it is not set and I found no way to use check boxes with actual code from pdfhtmlheader.vm page: #if("$!request.pdfcover" != '0') #set($displayPdfCover = 1) #else #set($displayPdfCover = 0) #end and the same for pdftoc (I could have put <input value="0"/> instead but it makes more sense to have <input value="1"/>) Therefore I am proposing that we: * update pdfhtmlheader.vm page so that cover and toc page are not exported by default * update existing pdf export button so that we keep the same behaviour (pdfcover and pdftoc printed in PDF), meaning instead of *page?format=pdf*it would be *page?format=pdf&pdftoc=1&pdfcover=1* Some UI will be needed afterward so that this page is exposed. (I am not planning to work on this.) The export options would be made in a template, but I put the code in this page of the incubator so that it makes things clearer if needed: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/PDFExport/ExportOptions Thanks for your feedback on pdfhtmlheader.vm modification and on the feature itself. -- Thibaut
