Hi,

I would like to print as PDF the same node rendered in 2 differents view modes.

Is it feasible ? Should I use any specific URL for that ?

Many thanks in advance.

I have found a workaround by activating the "Print" view mode on my content type.

If I go to /printpdf/%nid%, I get the "Print" view mode displayed.

If I go to /printpdf/%nid%/whatever, I get the "Default" view mode displayed.

Of course this workaround works is dirty and works with only 2 view modes.

Anybody having a better idea ?

Hi,

My workaround is not an acceptable solution as I have to print 3 different views aof the same content type.

Please help.

I am really sorry to insist but I would like to know if it is planned to add this feature.

I am currently working on a big Drupla Back Office project and the critical issue is the ability to generate multiple PDF printings (more than 4) of the same content type.

As far as I know, this module is the only option for what I want to achieve.

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Hi,

I have finally figured it out.

First I setup URL patterns with Pathauto for my content type like node_type/[node:nid]

Then I use View mode page plugin to generate the URL patterns node_type/%/view_mode (% representes the node ID in my case) in my content type's view mode.

The URL /printpdf/node_type/%/view_mode leads prints out a PDF file containing my view mode fields.

Working like a charm.
