I found a solution, i post it here, just in case someone else needs it. By default tables are centered in pdf templates when you use pdf(table,....). There are two undocumented options that lets you align your table to left, center or right. * xPos * xOrientation The following code lets you align your table to the left : {pdf(table,$rowdata,hash('showLines',0,'width',200,'xPos','left','xOrientation','left'))} Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

I'd like to use the PDF creation instead of print view. Do you have experience in how to achieve that with ezPublish? If yes, could you guide me? Many thanks Anita

justin kazadi	Monday 30 March 2009 7:37:22 am Hi anita, do you want to make an PDF export of the content of an node? it means that you have an article for example in ez publish an you want to export it in pdf. to export an node in pdf do this: www.your_domaine.com/content/pdf/node_id i think this can help you. good luck The theory is when we know everything and nothing works. The practice is when everything works and nobody knows why. If the practice and theory are met, nothing works and we do not know why. Albert Einstein
Anita H	Monday 30 March 2009 10:51:47 pm Hi All, exactly, I need to export content into a PDF, yet the content is not a single article but numerous objects of a folder which I need to export (loop over) plus, at the end of the PDF, the google map in landscape format. I tried your tip: /content/pdf and used override.ini.append for defining another PDF template and this seems to work: override.ini.append: [t_pdf] Source=/content/pdf/full.tpl MatchFile=t_pdf.tpl Subdir=templates and then I used the following URL as an example: <a href={concat('/content/pdf/', $node.node_id)\|ezurl}>PDF</a> However, now I need to digg into the topic of formating the PDF as it looks pretty poor: The objects need to be displayed in 2 columns, with boxes around each content and a little image (page layout: portrait). At the end of the document I need to add the google map with the dynamically generated markers on it, paper size A4, landscape. Happy for all help as I'm struggeling with this since a bit... many thanks Anita
Jean-Yves Zinsou	Tuesday 31 March 2009 4:20:52 am Yes, pdf is really a struggle. I use this links to work on it : http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/incoming/pdf_export_tutorial and http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/template_pdf_functions The "deprecated " functions means that they might be changed someday, somehow ...
