Hi, the general tpl naming convention for print/PDF templates looks like this:

  $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "print__node__{$type}";
  $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "print__node__{$type}__{$nid}";
  $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "print__{$format}";
  $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "print__{$format}__node__{$type}";
  $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "print__{$format}__node__{$type}__{$nid}";

Above code is from print.module. I guess this naming convention is for node, not mentioning page from panel or views.
I've checked this post http://drupal.org/node/565856. This post didn't actually talk about the name of pdf template for panel page or views page.
Saying, I have a panel page "about-us", and the print url is "print/about-us". I checked page "print/about-us" source code. Apparently, this page uses the default print.tpl.php template to render this page. So, if I want to override this template, using a different template instead of the default one, what the name should be for that template?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

The template for non-nodes is print.tpl.php. There's no templating system available for non-content Drupal-generated pages.

Hi, jcnventura, thanks for yout replay.
I think the only option here is to use hook_menu_alter to change page callback for sepecific page.

It might be easier if you do some PHP inside print.tpl.php to include another template or similar.

Thanks, jcnventura
I guess I could do it like this:

  if($_GET['q'] == 'print/about-us') {
    include_once('print-about-us.tpl.php');
  }
  elseif($_GET['q'] == 'print/contact-us') {
    include_once('print-contact-us.tpl.php');
  }
  elseif($_GET['q'] == 'print/meet-us') {
    include_once('print-meet-us.tpl.php');
  }
  else {
    include_once('default_print.tpl.php');
  }

If this works, that will save a lot of time. Thanks again!

Hi, this works.
The only thing we need to change is ommit 'print' from url. So, this would be 

  if($_GET['q'] == 'about-us') {
    include_once('print-about-us.tpl.php');
  }
  elseif($_GET['q'] == 'contact-us') {
    include_once('print-contact-us.tpl.php');
  }
  elseif($_GET['q'] == 'meet-us') {
    include_once('print-meet-us.tpl.php');
  }
  else {
    include_once('default_print.tpl.php');
  }

where 'default_print.tpl.php' represents the default print.tpl.php from print module. Hope this could help others who share the same problems with me.
And again, thanks jcnventura.
