pdf printing having trouble with links, photos

[mathewlippincott]

each photo has its web address printed below, and all the links print with markdown formatting errors. Not sure why this is, I don't remember this problem a few months back.

I think your image hadn't quite uploaded when you hit publish?

i'm pretty sure that's what that is. Can you try again and watch the upload
progress bar?

dont think y'all were notified, oi updated this image

Oh, so my understanding is that the links are displayed purposely since they can't be clicked on, you know? I think there may be a way to disable that, but for some uses it's important? Maybe we could try some kind of checkbox or something to choose between?

I found a way to do the print I want, a firefox plugin called Print Edit. By selecting the web view and then deleting the side menus I pretty quickly got to a booklet format that looks pretty good. It looks like I can play around with it a bit more to get a solid booklet.

OK, looks great! I'm going to close this unless you'd like us to put some time into the "no links" version of the print stylesheet. Please feel free to re-open if so.

This seems like an important advance in our documentation that reduces the
barriers between online and offline.

I'd love to know more about this and celebrate it more widely once we have
a good method.

For future ref, the CSS to turn off the links-in-print feature is:

a, a:after { content: normal !important; }

[mathewlippincott]

this is definitely not a huge development priority for me, but here are some notes:

the way the present system prints titles wastes most of the first page. I'd reduce the "Public lab Research note" part, and maybe make the title smaller. The margins are also a problem-- there is a full 1" margin on the left and 2.5" on the right.

The open license is also formatted awkwardly as a box and not a footer.

My browser wants to drop a header with the source URL on the print. If I forget to turn it off, I get this:

I'm not sure if you can control vertical placement to e out of the range of the URL header, but its worth a shot.

I think we can. May I delete some of the above comments and consolidate this issue with a checklist/wishlist and re-open?

I am attempting to print a PDF of a research note and the map link displays like this:

Here's the link to the entire PDF that was generated:
map of Sun Moon Lake Reservoir.pdf

[jywarren]

Can you link to the research note itself too? Thanks.

Here's the actual note :) ! http://publiclab.org/notes/peteryoung/05-31-2015/mapknitter-map-of-sun-moon-lake-reservoir

I believe that's because the print function can't actually render a MapKnitter map. Moving to a new issue in MapKnitter to try to handle this gracefully: publiclab/mapknitter#186

Also creating a new issue for Mathew's suggestions for print stylesheet: #298
