User friendly PDF icons to be able to print it out

yogibear · July 31, 2008, 3:51am

Hi all

Is it possible for users to print out a neat pdf from browsers in pc and mac, in a very neat format.

Currently what happening is when the user click on file-> print and then select pdf then that webpage produces all unwanted information like the urls,page number and so on.

cheers

Matrix is not capable of generating PDFs. You can however use a print CSS file to hide all the unwanted content when users select File -> Print.

Avi we got a print.css but not sure how to code the unwanted content when user select File->print, any ideas or will you be able to help it.

The browser is adding that information into the header and footer, not Matrix. You need to change your browser's preferences (I'm sure it is different for every browser) to remove that content. It will also need to be done for every user who wants to print.

If you don't want something to appear in your print view, you will need to ensure that your CSS is hiding that content (visibility: hidden;). You should speak to your HTML/CSS coders/designers to fix this.
