Want to export an HTML topic from a HTML 5 output as PDF

[Soumen_Purkayastha]

Hi!

After generating an HTML 5 output from my Flare project, I need to export an HTML topic as a PDF document. When I expand a book and right-click on an HTML topic, I need to have an option from the context-menu which allows me to export the topic as PDF. This is a client requirement. I had tried to explain that one could use the print icon to save the topic as PDF but the client does not want that. Also, can the same thing be done from a book level?

Thanks,

Soumen

This is on my list of issues to look into eventually.

As for your other question, I am reasonably certain that will involve some custom coding.

I use Adobe Acrobat Professional, and when previewing a topic I can save it in pdf format as shown in the image below. This has worked fine since Flare 7.

To user 'heal' - Thank you from the future in 2022! I have a client who wants just a single article (all on an .htm Topic) as a PDF and this saved the day. I've been using MadCap for 4 years and never noticed that.
