[xwiki-users] Customizing PDF Output
Hello Community, I have a important question: How can i customize my generated PDFs? I know, that I can edit the pdf.vm, pdfheader.vm and so on.. But I need to include two Images in the header and the footer, which should be used as background. Also, I can't set the hight of head and footer. Does anybody know, how I can do that? And I have read, that you can include a CSS in the PDF generation process. How can I Do that? Sorry for my number of questions, but i haven't found any useful infos about this questions.. Greetings, Greg

I have rewritten this section. It should be clearer now (hopefully). Can you check if it's understandable now? Thanks -Vincent

Hello XWiki Team, I have installed XWiki Enterprise to use for my company's internal collaboration and documentation; I liked it especially for its UI which is far superior to other extendable wikis. While adding components and customizing it I have noticed that there is a tendency to change the software without much concern for backward compatibility. For example the macro syntax changes with 1.6 makes multiple macros that were previously written incompatible (I was particularly interested in the Jira one). I am concerned that if I want to upgrade at some point, the customizations I have made using the published API will not work and cause heartache. Maintaining backward compatibility is not necessarily easy, but I am curious whether there is a philosophy of weighing new features higher than supporting existing ones. This would help me know what to expect in regards to how much maintenance work I would need to put in over the wiki's lifespan. Thanks, Regan Gill

Our philosophy has always been to maintain backward compatibility as much as possible. I'm not sure where you've seen that it's not the case. The new syntax and the new rendering are not breaking backward compatibility in any manner. Quite the opposite. We're now supporting several syntaxes (XWiki Syntax 1.0 which is the current syntax, XWiki Syntax 2.0 which is the new syntax, Confluence, Mediawiki, Creole, etc). Let us know if you find any backward compatibility issues since that would be a bug. Thanks -Vincent
