PDF output

You can produce PDF versions of selected wiki content:

  • For a single article:

    the "Print as PDF" link in the toolbox area in the sidebar prints the current page(s). Its output is not clean, however, and the "Printable version" option in the print/export area gives a better (non-PDF) result.

  • For all the pages in a category:

    Set up a URL to invoke the output.

    For example, to create a PDF of the contents of all the pages in the "Janus Sockets" category from the Category:Janus Sockets page (that is, from Category:Janus_Sockets):

    1. Edit the URL at the top of your browser page. Change http://wiki.sirius-software.com/index.php/Category:Janus_Sockets to this:

      http://wiki.sirius-software.com/index.php?title=Category:Janus_Sockets&action=pdfbook

    2. Press the Enter key to invoke the edited URL.
  • For a set of pages you designate:

    Select the "Special pages" link in the toolbox sidebar area, then in the "Page tools" section in that page, select the "PDF Export" link.
