I also crawled cpan thinking there might be a magic Catalyst View. The
above looks very nice and powerful though of course requires that you
write in latex. This is of course not a big problem but I was
wondering if anyone has used PDF::Reuse with TT. For example if you
drew a PDF form in OpenOffice Writer, and printed it as a PDF, it is
my impression anyway that you could then use it as a very fast
precompiled form (well maybe the latex plugin is also precompiling I'd
presume).

I'm actually curious also since I was examining latex and other
options (inkscape?) to make a system to generate professional looking
restaurant menus for my sister's restaurant www.michaelsonthehill.com
for example the current summer menu I made in OpenOffice and printed
as a PDF. And I have another client with a PDF order form..

Anyway I will look more at the latex module too. However I may not be
able to use latex on the server I will be renting. Hm time to start
another thread..

Matt Rosin

TT can make PDFs too.

[Catalyst] output to tt2 and pdf

[Ulf Lenski]

Hi,
on http://www.catalystframework.org i found:
"And in case you want PNG or PDF output, you'll need just a few lines..."
where can I find an example for the PDF output?

What I need:
The HTML-ouput in 1:1 as pdf-download on the same page!

Example:

I create a list of names in the controller bla and bring this list to a
web-page via TT:

sub list : Local
{
my ( $self, $c) = @_;
$c->stash->{name}  = [ $c->model('XY::Name')->all];
$c->stash->{template} = 'name.tt2'
}

localhost:3000/bla/list ---> make a list of all names

On the same page I would like to give the user the option (as a link?)
to download this list of names as a pdf-file.

How can I handle this???

thanks for help - ulf.
