Description

I really like the efforts towards the PDF export, but have a few comments to hopefully improve it further. I searched for open issues for the export, but didn't find one which addressed the export PDF.

  • Dont' link to online version from the PDF, instead transform links to work inside the PDF
  • Use the collective's name for the PDF file name and in the top-left corner of pages
  • Show who last edited the respective pages (this is more of a feature request I guess)
  • Align images and text better (on the left), see screenshot from export PDF

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point for the PDF export. Start by locating the export implementation and its existing tests, then assess the four requested changes: internal PDF links, collective naming, last-editor information, and improved image and text alignment. Done means the exported PDF satisfies the agreed subset of these requirements.
