WordPress and PDF
Filed under: 
recently sought and discovered a plug-in for WordPress (a blogging tool) that generates PDF‘s from WordPress data. This eases the process of printing, viewing and sharing pages as PDF’s preserve their structure across platforms.
The WP2PDF Web site covers much of the detail and contains an on-line demo. As an example, press below (bottom-right corner) to see a PDF version of this post. If you have a hard time installing the plug-in (hand-tweaking is involved), see my notes about a possible bug and the way I got around it. Image embedment works only in the minority of cases, so if you find a solution, please post it here.
There was one particular reason for my interest such a plug-in. That reason was Mambo (picture below), which has PDF/PS support built-in. Mambo is an excellent Open Source CMS that is currently used by ManLUG, of which I am a member.
