zopyx.smartprintng.lite 1.0.4

Produce & Publish Lite

Produce & Publish Lite

Produce & Publish Lite is a stripped down version of the Produce & Publish platform (www.produce-and-publish.com). It implements a PDF generation functionality for the Plone content-management system (www.plone.org).

Limitations

• supports only Apache FOP 1.0 or higher as PDF backend

• no support for the Produce & Publish server (conversion will take place inside Plone - may block worker threads of Zope)

Requirements

• requires Plone 4 or higher (untested with Plone 3.x)

Installation

• add zopyx.smartprintng.lite to the eggs option of your buildout.cfg and re-run buildout (as usual)

• read carefully the zopyx.convert2 documentation (especially the section related to the configuration of Apache FOP)

Installation of Apache using `zc.buildout

You can automatically install and configure Apache FOP through your buildout configuration:

[buildout]
parts =
    ...
    fop

[instance]
...
environment-vars =
    FOP_HOME ${buildout:directory}/parts/fop


[fop]
recipe = hexagonit.recipe.download
strip-top-level-dir = true
url = http://apache.openmirror.de/xmlgraphics/fop/binaries/fop-1.0-bin.tar.gz

Usage

Add @@asPlainPDF to the URL of a Plone document, news item or topic in order to convert the current content to PDF.
