Do you have any documents that are public and that I could download to
see what the output looks like?
Thanks,

To risk being misunderstood but size doesn't seem
to matter we have
documents being built up to around 120 A4 pages at the moment, we have
activated 'sub pages' within the main namespace and have developed
system that takes an index page eg. named test, which lists subpages
such as
*[[/part1/]]
*[[/part2/]]
*[[/part3/]]
*[[/part4/]]
that converts this to
*[[test/part1|part1]]
*[[test/part2|part2]]
*[[test/part3|part3]]
*[[test/part4|part4]]
----
[[all:test|See all sections on one page]]
and also gives us this wiki text that then bulds the whole lot onto one page
====[[test/part1|part1]]====
{{:test/part1}}
====[[test/part2|part2]]====
{{:test/part2}}
====[[test/part3|part3]]====
{{:test/part3}}
====[[test/part3|part3]]====
{{:test/part3}}
----
*[[test|return to :- Test]]
We then go on building up till we have all the section / sub sections of
the document on one page, we have some documents when the subpage
nesting is down to 5 levels, this is the maximum that you can use and
still get a usable TOC created.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll build a
somewhat more complex system (we
want to automatically generate large documents, and then make them
available for our users), but one important fact from this is that
HTMLDOC works well.) Should be interesting.

We are successfully using (MW 1.9.3)
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export
To do this, only issues we have had so far is that it appears in the
toolbox which mean users have to be logged in to use it, I've also had
to work with some of the other extensions we use that add usefuly
navigation information and edit one of the CSS files to add further div
exclusions so that they don't appear in the printed output

We'd like to convert some (eventually all) of
our site to printable PDF
(and to be able to autogenerate such in the future.) It's easy enough to
batch-download html, and to organize either via internal tags or an
external TOC (in conjunction with scripts). Is there a better way to do
it directly? And if not, any recommendations for good HTML->PDF
converters, preferably ones that we could do pagination in, and
preferably convert internal links into page references?
Thanks,
Ken
