= Analysis =

== Overview ==
The task is to create a way for a Sophie 2.0 Book to be exported in PDF file. Dialogs should appear - one with the PDF options and one with where to save the PDF file.

== Task requirements ==
 * There should be a menu item, which when clicked, the current book is exported in a pdf file.
 * There should be a dialog which to appear and the user to be able to choose where to save the new file.
 * In this first revision, a dialog with PDF options won't appear.

== Task result ==
 * The result of this task should be source code.

== Implementation idea ==
 * Use iText library to generate PDF files. For more information, see [http://www.lowagie.com/iText/]
 * For the next iteration "PDF Clown" library can be used to generate PDF files. For more information, see [http://www.stefanochizzolini.it/en/projects/clown/]

== How to demo ==
 * Run Sophie 2.0.
 * From "File" menu choose "Print To PDF" item.
 * A dialog should appear for the user to choose the directory where to save the newly created file.
 * Press "OK".
 * In the directory that the user has chosen should appear a PDF file with the content of the book.

= Comments =
 * It will be better if the menu item is named "To PDF" and is part of a subemenu called "Export" since we will have HTML, Sophie 1, etc
 * The button should invoke File Dialog with extension PDF selected.
 * It is important which part of the book will be printed - will it be the page, will it include border?
 * How we will present the video frames for example? Should the pdf include frame bounds? I guess it will be good if the print is the same as the preview of the book.
 * I guess "static" means that the text won't be selectable and the graphics will be like images, not like vectors? please clarify
