Redmine

+1 (or +50, to show my demand ...)

Instead of the suggested menu point I would prefer an option in the right-click menu of the tickets list, i.e. "Export all to PDF". This should create a single, continous pdf of the checked issues in full detail - preferably with a page break between issues.

I think this issue is duplicated by issue #6554 and it is related to issue #1564. Someone please add the relations.

A minimalistic - and simple to implement - approach would be to include a link to the correspondent PDF into each displayed line of the ticket list. That would at least allow to export each issue without the need to open each of them. But multi issue export would be definitely preferred.

Does this really belong into just another plugin? Because export to pdf is already a core functionality I believe this improvement should be one too.

+1 (with a !)

I am also looking for a clean way to get this to work. We have a requirement from a customer to be able to print all of their issues from a query at once and 'as they are at that moment' as opposed to printing issues one by one. Which is currently cumbersome if there are, say, 20 or more.

I think it needs to be able to compile all of the issues from a given query into a single pdf presented in the same order of a sorted query.

We're using the parametric-pdf-export plugin that basically does exactly what you're asking for. I've attached the latest version that works with the 1.2 release of redmine.

However, this plugin has a little drawback since Redmine currently does not provide a hook to add additional export types to the view. This plugin basically duplicates the issues/index.rhtml from redmine and inserts the required link into the view. This in turn means, that the change needs to be applied for every new version of this file to work.

Maybe someone could pick this up and turn it into a generic plugin?!

Can't find that plugin.. Where is the source?

This is something we also extremely need. It takes quite a bit of time daily to print
issues needed one by one for our clients that require hard documentation.

duplicates #1564

overrideing index html shall be easily replacable with hook approach, like done for redmine xls export plugin" which could only inject a new "export full issue list to pdf" link at the bottom.

Also rewriting xml output so look similar to actual redmine style shalle be easy with tweaking copy paste redmine code in the redmine_pdf_export_patch.rb file.

In case your Redmine version works with TCPDF you will have to modify redmine_pdf_export_patch.rb (replace IFPDF with ITCPDF)

Output is ok, but as Mathias wrote it replaces the index.rhtml of the Issues view. Anyway the functionality overall is good for my needs (the view filters are applied to the report). Output slightly differs from the report of the current version of RedMine, as the report is re-scripted. The last thing is not a big disadvantage I think, as I want to embed the screenshots of the issues into the PDF and insert a header.

Hello,
Has anyone changed the plugin index.rhtml to adapt it to Redmine 1.4.0.
I'm sorry, but I'm a newbee, and I can't do it myself.
Thanks
