Wiki to PDF with iText

[Alexey Kakunin <ak...@emdev.ru>]

Hi!

We just migrated PDF generation in EmForge from usage PDFPlugin (based on
batik) to iText-based solution.
Until now, this solution looks simpler, faster - and produced better output.

So - if somebody interested - it make sense to rewrite PDFPlugin (or write
another plugin) to use iText instead of batik, or, probably - it is good
idea to include PDF generation into JspWiki core (I really think it should
be there).

Information about possible implementation you can find here:
http://www.emforge.org/wiki/Wiki%20to%20PDF%20with%20iText
Demo of PDF generation you can try on same page (there is Get as PDF link on
the top) - it is already used iText.

If somebody interested - feel free to ask any questions.

With best regards,

I've been thinking about PDF generation...  Would certainly love to
have it in the core, if we can fit it in nicely.

Want to open an issue at the issue tracker and add a patch?
