Print to PDF option #26

Open gino909 opened 5 years ago

gino909 commented 5 years ago

It must be possible to export a whole note or only a section of a note to PDF. A notes taking app is frequently used to write meeting minutes... and this minutes have to be distributed to colleagues... therefore an PDF export option would be usefull...

If possible the template of the PDF should be editable... add a logo, header and footer texts, etc...

IMHO it is important to be able to produce an output PDF (or an HTML, ODT or a DOCX) file out of a note.

But there are first class tools available to us already that provide far more control over appearances of output files. I'm talking about the wonderful Pandoc. Just copy your Markdown text into a file and use the command line to produce the output file. Alternatively take a look at wkhtmltopdf.

I'd prefer that scarce development efforts be directed first at stabilizing Encryptic. That said, a way to provide the user with the ability to create PDFs et. al. from within Encryptic would be a hook to incorporate user-written shell scripts into the menu system. Take a look at zim-wiki which provides this kind of functionality.
