@Marine Hey! I had the same problem, regarding the PDF export customization, I'm still not able to do it creating the Class document like they've done in the tutorial. I was suggested to add a *pdf.css *file into the *\Xwiki\templates * folder. Add the css code into the file and test it. It should work. Also, have you tried to edit the header, footer or toc? I'm having problems editing the toc, if you know something, please tell me. Best regards, Wilson 2010/5/20 Marine JULIAN <[email protected]>

Hello,

I notice that exportation in rtf format has some bad behaviors:

- Two things are not really important because, like it's rtf format, we can modify the document. But the rendering is a little weird : the importation doesn't create a cover page with the main title and puts the beginning of the table of content at the bottom of the first page... - As well (and it's the big point to me), tables are rendered in a strange way: the column width is so thin that we cannot notice the content of cells... We can thin "No matter, we can modify the larger in the rtf document" but we can only do that cell by cell... For small tables, it's okay but, for bigger ones, it's not very useful ! I put an example in attachment of this table so that you can see the issue: |=column 1|=column 2 |content 1|content 2

To finish, I just have one question about customizing exportation. I tried to customize the PDF export Look & Feel by creating a PDFClass and a PDFClassTemplate. The template has a textearea "style" property which contains (just to test) : h1{ color : red; } div{ color : red; } p{ color : red; } I added the "&template=XWiki.PDFClassTemplate" line to the exportation link but the rendering is always the same... Did I forgot to do something ? For your knowledge, I tried that because I would like to customize the table look and feel. I don't like that they don't have borders...

Thank you in advance for your help. Marine

"Besides, it's weird because I saw in pdf*.vm files some calls to the XWiki.PDFClass... But i don't really know how it works..." Same here, I saw those calls almost everywhere... Don't know how they work. Could you, reader, be gentle enough to exlpain it to us ;) Wilson 2010/5/21 Marine Julian <[email protected]>

Indeed, it works when I create a pdf.css file in the \Xwiki\templates folder. So thank you it could be an alternative for what i'm trying to do. In fact, i'm using a farm and i would prefer have one customization per wiki. So, it will be great if the tutorial method can work ! Anyone encounters this issue (can't be able to customize creating the PDFClass) and find a way to do it ? Besides, it's weird because I saw in pdf*.vm files some calls to the XWiki.PDFClass... But i don't really know how it works...

Actually, I didn't try but I took a look at it and I was able to add some little things. I don't think I can help you but... who knows ?

I wanna be able to modify also the TOC. Specifically, I wanna be able to modify it:

$msg.get('core.pdf.tableOfContents')

Like, inside it...

I'm very sorry, I hadn't seen your second post until now (and only by chance)... So, I hope you find a solution at your situation because I don't know how to help you. The only thing I can say is that you didn't look at the correct place (to me). In fact, all lines which begin by $msg.get(...) refer to a resource bundle for translations. Thus, $msg.get('core.pdf.tableOfContents') is simply a call to the text "Table of contents". The code lines which deal with the content of the TOC are in pdfgtmlheader.vm from line 62 to 70 and more specifically the line #set($pdftoc = $pdfdoc.display("toc", "rendered")). I'm not sure of what I advance but I think that the $pdfdoc.display("toc", "rendered") call allows you to retrieve the content of the TOC. Unfortunately, I can't say more... Please, if you found a solution, tell me what it is ! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/bad-rtf-exportation-and-customizing-the-pd...
