Convert blog to PDF

Hi,
I'm using S9Y for several months and I think your PDF Plugin is a very usefull one. But I regret that it doesn't include pictures and smileys inserted in the posts. I imagine that the reason is to limitate the size of the outgoing *pdf but I think it would be a very useful option to include pictures in the PDFs.
Is it possible to include the option in the existing pdf plugin or to create a second one that would create a pdf document including pictures (in color or black/white) ?
Thank you for your answer

Actually it's not a matter of size, but a matter of the PDF library not supporting images.
Well, it does support embedding imagines with a few hacks, but only on the left or right side, but not within the text. So smilies won't work inside PDFs, sorry...
We're relying on FPDF library; there is a commercial PDFLib available which is able to include comments, but because its commercial we can't/don't include code to work with it...

Hi Garvin !
And would it be possible to implement this PDF Creator ?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
It is under GPL licence, so it shouldn't be a problem to distribuate it with S9Y and it integrates pictures in the *.pdf's...
What do you think about it ?

hello.
no that is not possible.
Because PDFCreator is a windows programm.
What is needed is a libary which helps you create a pdf using php.
So no windows or unix programm will help, right now.
sorry
Phil

I converted my blog in pdf, but all hyperlinks in my posts are lost, all paragraphs of one post are merged into a single paragraph.
I am using S-0.71

Yes. The PDF format cannot parse HTML markup so you only get plaintext.

Hi Garvin,
I'm back here with the same question. Any progress in the possibility of implementing pictures and links in the files ?
Could this be a solution ?

We are using FPDF. I have not found any API method to allow FPDF to parse HTML images into PDF pictures...?
