Print the file .ps / .pdf

[cetautomatix]

When I try to print one help file to PDF I get an error: PDF generation is not supported by this version. But the option is there!

When I print to .ps file the icons or symbols in the page does not appear.

2 seperate issues here.

First: pdf unavailable. The option is there due to braindead libgnomeprint. I had planned on fixing it before Dapper was released, but got sidetracked by other things / couldn't se ehow to do it.

Second: postscript output wrong. Could you please provide more info. A copy of the resulting ps file would be nice. Failing that, which doc were you trying to print? Was it "Print entire document" or "Print selected page". Did the preview show up correctly?

Thanks

The pdf issue happened to epiphany too and has been fixed since they use GTK 2.10 printing instead of libgnomeprint.

Marking as Needs Info for the other questions about it

Just to clarify:

Has been fixed in epiphany. I'm still struggling with making yelp use the shiny new Gtk printing stuff. Until thats done, the pdf option (disabled) will remain in yelp.

Hopefully sometime soon, I'll manage to get the printing working in yelp. And the new search stuff I've been promising for ages. And ...

One other question for the reporter: Does a postscript generated using firefox have any problems like you're experiencing in Yelp? (To narrow down where the problem lies).

Thanks.

I'm going to try in Firefox and latter on I will give an answer to that.

Thanks

The "print to pdf" option is fixed in yelp 2.15 (in Edgy).

Still not sure about the second issue (the resulting output being wrong). Any more news on this?

cetautomatix: any news?

If not we should probably close the bug, as the primary issue is fixed in Edgy already.

Hi Daniel

I've checked now with a web page and all the images appear.
Using with yelp is difficult to confirm because the help pages now
doesn't have images, so I think that we consider the bug closed.

Thank you

PS. I wish you a xmas and a happy new year.
