With this module you can output a view as a PDF document. Each field of the view can be placed on the PDF page directly in the administration interface. Therefore a new display called "PDF" is added.
There are already some PDF solutions such as Print. But these solutions use the HTML output and converts this to PDF. The downsides of such an integration are:
- No control over page flow (e.g. page break).
- Little or no control over page header and footer.
- You need HTML skills to change the layout.
- The rendering is slow and need a lot of memory, because it needs to render the HTML.
- Complex tables make troubles.
- Vector graphics can not be implemented, therefore the printing of the document can be problematic.
- You are limited by HTML's capabilities.
- No hyphenation.
