Dear All, The following mail is about a PDF rendering solution for non-Latin scripts which is under development. One of the main reason for developing this tool is that the current *Download to PDF* option (available in the sidebar of wiki) is useless for Indic language scripts (current Download to PDF solution might not be useful for all the non-Latin scripts) I am sharing this here since the below PDF rendering solution is applicable to all the scripts (not only Indic langauge/non-latin scripts). Please mail your feedback/comment to santhosh.thottingal(a)gmail.com. The solution is not limited to wiki. But surely wiki users will be one of the major cosumers. Please see the below mail thread for details. Thanks Shiju ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Santhosh Thottingal &lt;santhosh.thottingal(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 10:36 PM Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] PDF rendering of Indian language wiki pages To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." < wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Hi, We are working on a Complex script PDF rendering library named PyPDFLib(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pypdflib/). One of its test case (or use case) is to render a wiki page in complex script(any Indian Language) to PDF. Currently PDF export feature is not available(not working) for Indian language wiki projects because of technical incapability of Python Reportlab library. Just wanted to give an early preview of this software library through an online interface : http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render You can try with a Wikipedia page in your language and verify the generated PDF. You can also access this using this URL http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render?wiki=http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/இலங்கை (replace that wiki URL with other page addresses too - any Ianguage - not limited to Indian languages) There are lot of items not implemented, but your feedback is requested on the current version. The library uses Pango for text rendering and Cairo for graphics and PDF features. ps: Don't get surprised if you get a 500 Error page for the random page you are trying. Just try another wiki page ;) Thanks Santhosh Thottingal http://thottingal.in _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
