wiki page as pdf

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I am running Trac 1.2.2 on Linux. I have a rather simple wiki page
that I want to export as PDF. When I click at the bottom of the wiki
page to download as PDF, I get an empty PDF file. If I download as
Text, I get the expected text in the text file.

I do not see any complaint in the Trac log. Any idea why the PDF
document would be made, but be empty?

Export to PDF is not a feature provided by Trac. Which plugin are you using?

Do you get an empty PDF on every page you try to export, or only with one of the pages in your system?

TracWikiToPdfPlugin 3.0.0.dev0 with all options enabled.

There is also an admin page where I can select various pages to put in
a single PDF. But I do not think that is used when exporting a
specific page from the link at the bottom of the page. If I select the
same page there, I also get an empty PDF doc.

All pages seem to be empty.

You might need to set the [wikitopdf] htmldoc_path option if htmldoc is not on the system path.

I haven't needed to set it in testing the plugin, however:

$which htmldoc
/usr/local/bin/htmldoc

A missing htmldoc was the problem. When that was corrected, the
generated file contained content. Thanks!

I'm surprised that there was no complaint in the log.

Next question: is it possible for the document to contain the images
in the page?

Errors from os.system go to stderr and are not logged. We should probably be using the subprocess module. I'll look at fixing it.

Looks like there might be some defects with including images. Keep an eye on this ticket and I'll try to get to it soon:
