Export Notebook
Last modified: 2008-12-01 19:57:12 UTC
There should be an option to export the entire notebook at once. Ideally to PDF as non-linux users would be able to view the contents that way.
This is an excellent suggestion for a good use case of notebooks. I'm not entirely sure about _how_ to do the PDF part, but exporting at least to HTML should be possible. We'll look at this when we start working on 0.11.x (eventually to be released as 0.12).
Could we do something similar to what the "Print to PDF" feature does when your printing stuff out?

Hmm just another thought. But i noticed that OpenOffice uses a "export directly to PDF" button. Maybe we could look at that for ideas on how to implement it? It would probably be better to actually have a export button seperate from the print button. Just noticed it and trying to help out as much as I can.

This is not a duplicate of 356871, as it is requesting export for deferent formats, such as PDF. not limiting itself to html. Therefore it is different :)
If you re-open, I'll close as WONTFIX...the interesting part of this bug (for me) is exporting an entire notebook, and I've updated bug 356871 to include that concept. I don't plan on supporting PDF export unless somebody has a patch for it. Sorry! :-)
And actually, I think "export to pdf" would be better implemented as an expansion of printing support. Once we finish porting printing to gtk.print, printing a single note to PDF is trivial...so we just need to add the ability to print an arbitrary set of notes, or an entire notebook, or whatever. That is the patch I would prefer.
