[Bug 630404] Re: A q&d way to export to a pocketmod
Adding a function to run a script after the export sounds like a
suitable way to get the full export process done.
Also I would go for the solution of two different templates to choose
between text and titles only.
I think using a regexp for padding the pages would work, too.
The only thing I can't figure out yet is how to tell pdflatex how to
call the outputfile. Would make scripting things easier.
Also I still think this is just a interim solution and we should look
into different, more elegant, templating mechanisms with less external
dependencies (LaTeX) for creating PDFs.

A q&d way to export to a pocketmod

Bug description:
I really grew fond of the pocketmod printout of Thinking Rock and won't switch to gtg until it has a similar feature. So I hacked a quick and dirty way to create one for gtg 0.2.4
You need:
- export plugin
- pdflatex
- pdfjam
- pdftk
- files attached to this report
1. activate export plugin and place template_pocketmod.tex in /usr/share/gtg/GTG/plugins/export/export_templates/
2. export to a tex-file using the new export option
3. run pdflatex on your exported file
4. run pocketmod input.pdf output.pdf
5. print output.pdf
Restrictions:
- since I do have a lot of tasks I only print the tasknames, but not the task texts.
- you need to have enough tasks to create 8 or more pdf pages in step 3.
- it's designed for A4 format
This was written and tested on an up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04.
My hope is to get the discussion going for a proper export feature.
