Hi, I think, for this you will need to customize the category view of articles - to add a link to PDF next to each listed article link. Needs to be customized directly in the code.

Hi, if you mean, you should somehow collect the articles in one PDF - from the category, this needs to be customized - but I don't have any experiences with such feature, so really cannot give any clue advice :-(

Hi,
I'm looking for the same/similar or even a bit more extensive feature.
Want to create a PDF out of all blogs in a category, including sub-categories, and would be nice with cusomizable recursion level depth.
If there's no existing solution or workaround yet, I would be willing to program one and share freely with anyone.
My motivation is, I want to publish an E-Book as work in progress on a website, which shall be available as a tree of articles in HTML, and additionally as a downloadable PDF.
