pmPDFKitPlugin
==============

[](#pmpdfkitplugin)

The `pmPDFKitPlugin` plugin is a clone on jdpace's PDFKit library for Ruby (and Ruby on Rails). It allows you to export any page as PDF only adding the pdf format to the request. IE: calling

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

wkhtmltopdf library is required. You can download it from [wkhtmltopdf on Google code](http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- Via composer:

```
{
  "require": {
    "desarrollo-cespi/pm-p-d-f-kit-plugin": "dev-master"
  }
}
```

- Or using git, from source.
- Enable the plugin in the project configuration:

```
// in config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php add:
$this->enablePlugin('pmPDFKitPlugin');
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Enable the pmPDFKitFilter

```
pm_pdfkit:
  class: pmPDFKitFilter
```

- By default, this plugin expects the wkhtmltopdf executable to be in /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf. If it does not you can specify it in app.yml:

```
all:
  pm_pdf_kit:
    executable: /home/patricio/bin/wkhtmltopdf
```

- Clear the cache
- Finally, try to access any resource appending the .pdf format.

Advanced usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

- Edit the default routes so any page can be transformed as pdf:

```
default_index:
  url:   /:module.:sf_format
  param: { action: index, sf_format: html }

default:
  url:   /:module/:action.:sf_format/*
  param: { sf_format: html }
```

- You can save any view to a file (instead of inline view in the browser) using the pmPDFKit class.
- Specify extra parameters for wkhtmltopdf appending them to the url:

```
http://somedomain.com/something/1.pdf?orientation=landscape&page-size=Letter&print-media-type=true
```

See all options executing `wkhtmltopdf -H` in the terminal.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- fix images paths (because images are loaded from the stylesheets).
