PDF Export Feature

[webdevilopers]

I have seen an example how to export PDF by injecting the KnpSnappyBundle:
http://cristian-radulescu.ro/article/add-pdf-export-functionality-in-sonataadminbundle.html

But the tutorial also states that the Sonata way would be to use a PdfWriter class.
Are there any plans for such a service?

For a lot of my projects using sonata, I did have to code a custom PDF export functionality, which is generally added as a BATCH action on list views, not in the export section where it should be.
@rande I can work on this feature if you are agree.

[rande]

yes, of course.

Ok, I will submit it soon.
Thank's @webdevilopers

@chalasr Please take in consideration that knp-snappy should be optional.

The best would be to have a PdfWriterInterface and a KnpSnappyPdfWriter. So, developpers can write pdf writers with other libraries like dompdf for example.

@soullivaneuh Ok, I will use this approach . Thanks

[rande]

@soullivaneuh you give too much insight ;)

[rande]

Actually a KnpSnappyWriter will do the job too ;)

Closing this issue, as it not the aim of this library to provide such features. Exporting data into PDF is more about reporting.
