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

From the user point of view the PDF exporting should fulfill these requirements:

• PDF export must be selected from menu File -> Export As...
  • This should invoke a dialog window with a different filetypes (.pdf, .html and etc.). Other option is File -> Exports as PDF, this should be discussed and considered in the design phase.
  • This dialog gives the opportunity to choose where the file will be saved
  • A message that warns for loss of the video content and some interactivity (timelines and etc.) should appear
• In this first revision, a dialog with PDF options won't appear, but you must consider the previous requirements when you're designing this task.
• The created PDF document must represent something like a snapshot of the original book in preview mode

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.
• I guess "static" means that the text won't be selectable and the graphics will be like images, not like vectors? please clarify
