    Hi,
    Is there a way to get this Plug-In to export the "Page" resource.

    Thanks

    Hi, I tested this plugin and I find it very useful and builded very good, but I was looking for a option to display and hide this feature depending of the lesson. It will be very nice, in my case, to enable this feature only to specific lessons.

    We're interested in exporting Chinese-language lessons (among others). When I use this plugin I get pages full of "?" characters, which is not helpful. Would it be possible to get usable exports of Chinese-language courses by adding fonts?

    I'm having an issue with this plugin when lessons contain SVG images. In this instance, a single blank page is output only. Has anyone come across this issue and found a fix?
    This is a great plug-in and very usefull for anyone needing to provide a hard copy of their Moodle lessons.

    I seem to be having difficulty with printing images in that it doesn't print them and leaves huge gaps between paragraphs. Images are .png format

    Also, when printing the document download date - it overwrites text about two-thirds down the page.

    I am using Moodle 3.8.2+ (Build: 20200402) with plugin version Release 3.0+ (Build: 2019090900)

    When I export a lesson, it just gives me a blank page. I don't know if this is due to the plugin or my lessons. I'm using moodle 3.6 but the lessons originated in 1.9, this shouldn't affect it right? Any ideas on what the issue is?

    Lots of Possible reasons. This plugin has difficulty with images, with any text that is cut and pasted from Microsoft word, with any table, or text from various other formats. It is in no way WYSIWYG. In order to get it to work, you will need to copy all of your text from every page into notepad or some other program that strips formatting code away. Then you will need to copy that text back into each page. In some cases, even that doesn't work and you will need to retype the text. I've never been able to get it to print a picture, or a table, or anything except for simple cleaned or retyped text. I'd dearly love to see these issues resolved. Printing really should be part of core Moodle code.

    Very good plugin, but a couple of additions would be very helpful:
    - ability to export the question-answer choices without all the additional details - at present, if you select "Export Question Answers" you get all the details for each answer (which ones are correct or incorrect, the responses to a correct or incorrect answer). We'd like to only see the answer alternatives.
    - fix for the issue with matching questions - at present only some of the answers are displayed
    - improve support for other languages - at present only English and western character fonts are supported

    Is it necessary to have another plugin installed for this plugin to work? Everything looks OK in the system, but I don't see the option to export to pdf anywhere. I use moodle 3.11. Thanks.
