This module allows you to generate the following printer-friendly versions of any node:

  • Web page printer-friendly version (at www.example.com/print/nid)
  • PDF version (at www.example.com/printpdf/nid)
  • Send by-email (at www.example.com/printmail/nid)

where nid is the node id of content to render.

A link is inserted in the each node (configurable in the content type settings), that opens a version of the page with no sidebars, search boxes, navigation pages, etc.

To be able to create a PDF version, please follow the instructions in the INSTALL.txt carefully. PDF support is not usable out of the box. You must install one of the following third-party tools:

  • dompdf: full CSS support. Excellent reproduction of the web page. No Unicode support. PDF header not supported. Last release: 2006-07-07. dompdf 0.5.1 was the only one tested
  • TCPDF: CSS not supported. Limited reproduction of the web page. Unicode support (warning: use of unicode fonts will result in huge files). PDF header supported. Released very often (weekly). TCPDF 4.0.000 or later required.
