DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to generate the following printer-friendly versions
of any node:

* Web page printer-friendly version (at www.example.com/print/nid)
* PDF version (at www.example.com/printpdf/nid)
* Send by-email (at www.example.com/printmail/nid)

where nid is the node id of content to render.

A link is inserted in the each node (configurable in the content type
settings), that opens a version of the page with no sidebars, search boxes,
navigation pages, etc.

  which are searched for in the following order:

  2. print--[format].tpl.php in the theme directory
  3. print--node--[type].tpl.php in the theme directory
  4. print.tpl.php in the theme directory
  5. print.tpl.php in the module directory (supplied by the module)

format is either html, mail or pdf, and type is Drupal's node type (e.g.
page, story, etc.)

API

print_insert_link(), print_mail_insert_link(), print_pdf_insert_link()

The *_insert_link functions are available to content developers that prefer
to place the printer-friendly link in a custom location. It is advisable to
disable the regular Printer-friendly link so that it is not shown in both
locations.

Calling the function like this:

print_insert_link()

will return the HTML for a link pointing to a Printer-friendly version of
the current page.

It is also possible to specify the link to the page yourself:

print_insert_link("print/42")

will return the HTML pointing to the printer-friendly version of node 42.

THEMEABLE FUNCTIONS

The following themeable functions are defined:

• theme_print_format_link()
• theme_print_mail_format_link()

• theme_print_pdf_format_link()
  Returns an array of formatted attributes for the Printer-friendly
  link.

• print_pdf_dompdf_footer($html)
  Format the dompdf footer contents

• print_pdf_tcpdf_header($pdf, $html, $font)
