Hi, I'm testing the Pdf Book extension to export Wiki to PDF. Now I have the problem that no images (.jpg,.png) are exported to the PDF. Only a blank space is left in the document. I'm using Media Wiki 1.11.0, Pdf Book 0.0.9, HTMLDOC 1.8.27 Any Idea? Günter Gratzer

Go into the extension's PHP source code, and comment out the lines that remove the intermediate (generated) files during the PDF conversion process. Generate a book, examine the intermediate HTML file, and look at the <img> tags being generated. See if the URLs properly point to the images on your wiki.

Hi Dan, thank's for the hint! The problem was in my apache configuration. Did a test with a reverse proxy and forgot to change back the ServerName parameter. Now the images are included. They are a little bit too big so I have to check how I can resize them. I guess it's an htmldoc parameter where I can correct this problem.

If you can figure out how, can you relay the information to me? I have the same problem. V/r, Ryan Lane

Hi Ryan, I modified pdfbook.php and included the parameter "--browserwidth 1200". Now the images are smaler. My command looks like this at the moment: $cmd = "--left $left --right $right --top $top --bottom $bottom"; $cmd = " --size A4 --browserwidth 1200"; $cmd .= " --header ... --footer d.1 --headfootsize 8 --quiet --jpeg --color"; $cmd .= " --bodyfont $font --fontsize $size --linkstyle plain --linkcolor $link"; $cmd .= " --toclevels $levels --format pdf14 --numbered $layout --book"; $cmd = "htmldoc -t pdf14 --charset iso-8859-1 $cmd $file"; Günter ________________________________ Von: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org im Auftrag von Lane, Ryan Gesendet: Mi 26.03.2008 22:03 An: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Betreff: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problem with Extension Pdf Book

Awesome. Thanks! That option doesn't seem to be in the man page, but it was exactly what I needed. V/r, Ryan Lane

Hi Günter... Although htmldoc still has much problems, big part of the problem of the images lies somewhere in PdfBook.php (or PdfExport.php) Both are far from being ready for prime time... alas. If you comment out the line unlink ($mytemp); in the php code, it won't delete te temp .html file (in /tmp on my mac os x system) so you can look at the html code that gets send to htmldoc... the image link it contains is in the format http://<site>/wiki/ Image:<filename>.<ext>, which point to a wikipage, not the image itself. It should read something like http://<site>/images/<char>/ <twochars>/<filename>.<ext>... however, there's much more problems with Pdf Book/Export. I know my reply won't help much, sorry...

Instead of PdfExport, consider the alternative implementations discussed on the Talk page. They take care of the Image: vs. /images/... problem. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Pdf_Export Also, PdfBook and PdfExport have very different implementations. PdfBook has worked like a charm for us since Day 1. PdfExport we had to replace with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Pdf_Export#Got_it_working_w ith_Win2k3_and_MediaWiki_1.11.0. DanB
