PDF saves the day
4th June 2008
Recently a client presented us with an interesting problem concerning printing. They needed to be able to print a vast number of web pages in one go.
Printing multiple web pages can be problematic, browsers don't cope well displaying documents containg thousands of pages, nor can you easily automate a browser to print pages from a list, and when it comes to achieving a high quality final output, well to say the least your options are limited (as support for CSS3 becomes more wide spread this should start to change).
To solve the problem we've provided an interface to the excellent ReportLab application from our Air CMS so that we can output content in PDF format, which is far more suited to printing.
