Hi Cliff,

As you know PDF-o-matic will not work on a private wiki. You (and all your users) would have to download software to your local machine whic would a pain int butt. Kinda at odds to online Web 2.0 tools?? PBwiki PDF creator is useless. It can't even handle something so simple as a table. It should be either fixed or got rid of. Why persist with a crappy tool.

Hi there, sorry about that.

This page has the answer from our engineering team.

I have developed some work-arounds.

======= 1 ===========
Try the free PDF-o-Matic web service.
http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/pdf-o-m...

Copy the address of the wiki page you want a PDF of and paste it into the form at PDF-o-Matic.

In seconds, it creates a PDF file that pops into your browser. Once it's displaying in your PDF Reader, just hit the File Save option to save a copy.

TIP:

Many people might prefer our "bare" formatted pages.

Type "?raw=bare" (without quotes) at the end of the URL and then generate the PDF.

That gets rid of our Wiki page headers, footers and Sidebar.

Example for the "bare" style page would be:

======== 2 ===========

You might want to try out the free version of FastStone Capture to create an image of your wiki page.
http://freewarewiki.com/FastStoneCapture

After you install the free FS Capture tool, go to your wiki and bring up the page you want to capture.

Then start FS Capture.

When you start FS Capture it will stay on your screen and you can click the scrolling page capture option as shown here.
http://help4all.pbwiki.com/f/fscaptur...

After you click that icon, select the wiki page you want to capture.

FS Capture will get a snapshot of the entire page.

Once you have an image captured, you can either save it as a PDF or other image, or print it as I've indicated in this picture of FS Capture's toolbar.
