Introduction¶

What does it do?¶

It uses wkhtmltopdf to generate a pdf version of your website.

Administration¶

Requirements¶

Debian squeeze: - Install packages: wkhtmltopdf xvfb - Configure extension:

Path to wkhtmltopdf: /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

Prepend command: xvfb-run

TYPO3¶

If you want your complete website in the pdf file, include static TS either for standard installation or templavoila.

Tips and tricks¶

To change the source path of additional files use absRefPrefix: pdf.config.absRefPrefix = xxx

Or use a condition

[globalVar = GP:type=123]
        config.absRefPrefix = xxx
[end]

Set it to your domain: absRefPrefix = http://[domain]/
If javascript loads files from your site, the cross origin policy will prevent this. Load all files localy with: absRefPrefix = /[httproot]/
To wait for complex javascript code you can change the htmltopdf parameters to: --quiet --javascript-delay 2000
