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/

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.
