This package creates a pdf-file from Umbraco content, i.e. from
a content node and optionally childnodes. The creation is done
using the opensource iTextSharp library, adapted and customized
for Umbraco usage.
Styles and layout
Although it is possible to apply a css-stylesheet to the
html-to-pdf-rendering a lot of limitations in layout and styling
should be expected. Not all styles are actually supported by
iTextSharp, but hopefully I will work out which ones soon.
Positioning elements is probably where you will encounter the
big differences, as the positioning-conversion does not cover all
html/css formats. Especially in case of images, if you do not have
align-attributes on your img-tags, you will have to bear with a
general alignment for all images (passed as macro properties).
Also I have been doing a couple of assumption, such as adding
default header/footer with page numbers, fonts etc.
The package is still an experimental package under
development.
