Goals• Use existing Wordpress content• Browser-agnostic• Consistent layout and standard print sizes• Professional headers with titles or footers
with footnotes
Wait. This is weird.• Q: Can’t we do all of this and more with
Adobe InDesign or any other desktop publishing tool?
• A: Yes, if you want to manually create the book, brochure, etc., every time.
Achieving our Goals• Use existing Wordpress content– Create a specific script that will gather all of
the necessary content from a Wordpress post or page based on the id of the content
Browser-agnostic• CSS3 Print Standard– Not consistently implemented from browser-
to-browser• Let’s make it consistent = PDF
So, wait, how does this work?Our server (Wordpress)
