Printing to PDF

I have spent a few hours looking but can't find much about Moodle's ability to print manuals. Ideally I would like to see a way to add styles to blocks that are then processed into pdf output. I have seen in book where you can dump everything out into one long html document but that isn't really something I can send to kinkos so they can build me some books.

We currently do most of our work in stand up training and need print materials but are moving into web presentation. The desire is to be able to leverage the reusability in moodle so that we don't have to maintain two copies of everything, one in moodle and one in indesign

Also, our clients are cooperations, we need it to look nice.

Best,

Jared

Test out the book before you reject it.
It has a cool Print css, with one of the two incredible tags used for multipurposing web content:

"page-break-before" This is in the CSS

The other tag is the widow-orhan CSS tag that cojuld be added in easily.

Add in some images in the "description' field for the book and you have a classy cover.
