As there doesn't seem to be any meta or local wiki page for this I thought I'd send this here. I've been testing the new PDF versions and they're pretty cool. I have a concerns about general layout and format though:
- The article title appear at the top of all pages. this looks bad on the first page because there's a small title at the top and a much bigger title underneath. One of them needs to be removed from the first page. - Alternate text for images appears instead of the caption, *including*the "alt=" bit. - A lot of tables don't look anyhting like they do in the article - Because infoboxes are huge and pictures in them are right aligned they take up a tiny bit of the bottom left corner of the infobox image field, the rest is blank - images such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:North.svg which are basically tiny 17px icons with arrows on them show up HUGE, taking up whole pages and throwing hte text out of line. - For multiple articles in the same book the next article should always start a fresh page. Having the title at the bottom and no text then loads of text with no title on the next page isn't great.
Overall though I like the knew feature what do you guys think?

Hi Patton,
there's actually both a local and meta page for feedback, both of which are regularly reviewed by the PediaPress developer team:

I think you've discovered this yourself by now, as you posted to the en.wp page. :-)
HTH, Erik
