PDF - Creating from an individual html topic

Post by TPM_IV »

Is there a way to generate a PDF from an individual html topic (ideally using a button on the page), without having to create a TOC in advance?
One of our customers has said that while reading a given topic, they would like to be able to print that individual topic out as a PDF by pressing a button on the html page.
I read of a Java script solution a while ago, but can no longer find it – however, that solution would not have been ideal, as it required the creation of TOCs in advance, and the topics would have to stored on a web server.

If you've got your @print medium set up nicely, then the user should be able to print the topic from their browser.

Or do you mean, they want to have a PDF they can refer to, rather than something printed on paper? If the second, then they should be able to print to a PDF rather than to a printer, again from their browser.
