PDF Creator for typo3

This extension is based on PDF Generator 2. So you can use the PDF Generator 2 documentation to setup this extension. I added functionality to put an icon as a pdf link via content element.

This extension uses wkhtmltopdf as the rendering engine. So, it comes with binary version for linux 32 and 64 OS. If you want to install this extension on Windows, just change the binary to the version for windows in bin directory. The binary for another OS, you can find here. Don't forget to change the permission as executable by typing this command "chmod +x bin/*"


Because I cannot put this extension on TER, you can download this extension from here.

example in the template Constants:

pdf_creator {
  size = A4
  top = 18
  bottom = 20
  left = 15
  right = 15
  cssmedia = print
  renderfields = 1
  string_search1 = <body>
  string_replace1 = <body> <!-- PDF VERSION -->
  regexp_search2 = (<a (.*?)>&larr;(.*?)</a>)
  regexp_search3 = (<a (.*?)>(.*?)</a>)
  regexp_search4 = (<a (.*?)>&lt;-(.*?)</a>)
}


example in the template Setup:

# Put current page url in the PDF format
temp.linkPDF = TEXT
temp.linkPDF {
  stdWrap.postUserFunc = tx_pdfcreator->linkInPdf
  stdWrap.postUserFunc.target = _blank
}

# Put the right coloumn as footer in PDF format
temp.end_note < styles.content.getRight
temp.end_note {
  renderObj = COA
  renderObj{
    10 < tt_content
    10.stdWrap.wrap = <div class="end_note"> | </div>
  }
}

# Put the page title if not hidden in the PDF format
temp.title = COA
temp.title {
  10 = TEXT
  10 {
    data = field:title
    if.isFalse.field = nav_hide
    wrap = <h1>|</h1>
  }
  20 = TEXT
  20 {
    value = &nbsp;
    if.isTrue.field = nav_hide
    wrap = <h1>|</h1>
  }
}

pdf_creator {
  # include current page CSS
  includeCSS < page.includeCSS
  # include custom CSS  
  includeCSS.pdf = EXT:pdf_creator/res/html2pdf.css
  10 = TEMPLATE
  10.template = FILE
  10.template.file = EXT:pdf_creator/res/html2pdf.html
  10.marks.url < temp.linkPDF
  10.marks.TITLE < temp.title
  50.stdWrap.wrap = <div id="maincol"> | </div>
  60 = COA
  60 {
    if.isTrue.numRows < styles.content.getRight
    10 = TEMPLATE
    10 {
      template = FILE
      template.file = EXT:pdf_creator/res/html2pdf_endnote.html
      marks.ENDNOTE < temp.end_note
    }    
  }
}

If you want to put the PDF Creator link on every page, you can add this sample in the template Setup, please change to comform with your Setup:

temp.PDFT = TEXT
temp.PDFT {
  value = pdf
  postUserFunc = tx_pdfcreator->makePdfLink
  postUserFunc.target = _blank
  postUserFunc.no_user_int = 0
}

temp.maincol = COA
temp.maincol {
10 = CONTENT
    8 < temp.PDFT
    10 < styles.content.get
}
