RE: Bookmarklets: Quick alternative to Forrestbar for debugging F orrest 0.7-sites

["Paterline, David L." <pa...@westinghouse.com>]

Hello -

I'm having trouble with the PDF files generated by Forrest 0.7. 

The PDF files generated for my site are very poorly formatted, without
margins on either side of the pages. Therefore, all the content stretches
from the left physical edge of the page to the right physical edge.

Also, within a table where table entries have links, the link text is
printed within parentheses along with the displayed text.

As far as I know, I have not made any conscious modifications to the way
PDFs are generated, other than to turn the generation on.

Has anyone else seen problems like this? Can someone point me to
documentation which may help me correct this? Where is the formatting and
appearance of PDFs controlled?

Thank you.

Hi David, 

I changed the subject to be more topic focused.

Can you open an issue on our issue tracker and add an example of the pdf
outcome.

We need to debug it, attach apart from above pdf as well the *.fo file.
You get it like requesting instead of 
http://localhost:8888/index.pdf
http://localhost:8888/index.fo
