Conversion of Plone content to PDF, RTS, ODT, DOCX and WML

Project description

SmartPrintNG provides high-quality export to the most common office formats like PDF, RTF, ODT, DOCX and WML based on XSL-FO.

Features:

SmartPrintNG can convert the ‘content’ view of Plone documents into different formats:

  • PDF

  • ODT (native Openoffice format)

  • RTF (Rich Text Format)

  • DOCS (native Microsoft Office 2007 format)

  • WML (older Microsoft Office 2003(?) XML-based format)

Other features:

  • customizable templates per content-type

  • customizable stylesheets per content-type

  • configurable per-content-type content aggregation

  • customizable conversion workflow chain e.g. to prepare the HTML e.g by removing links or generating link lists

  • document-structure-driven conversion: e.g. the H1 tags can be used to enforce page-breaks in order to use sections starting with a H1 tag as marker for a new chapter.

Requirements:

Installation:

  • ensure that zopyx.convert is installed including all its dependencies

  • unpack the SmartPrintNG archive inside the Products folder of your instance home

  • add SmartPrintNG through the Add/Remove programms functionalty inside the Plone UI

  • if you create a new Plone site, ensure to pick up the proper extension profile matching your Plone version

Using SmartPrintNG:

  • on Plone 3.0 you will see Export as new document action. Clicking on it will open the SmartPrintNG control panel at the bottom of your current page.
