Otsikko: PDFs & Subs payment
Kirjoitti: johnnypict - toukokuu 01, 2006, 06:57:09 AP
Hi,

I want to start a forum. I have some basic info that relates to the site and will have to pay a small fortune to have it all put on PDF.

Q1) Can I download pdfs from smf?
Q2) If so is this built in or do I need to modify?
Q3) To recoup the cost of doing this, is there a modification to accept a small membership fee for anyone requesting the pdf. Paypal would be preferred, (well at least by me).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Why not just use a PayPal cart?

Thanks mate.

I'm not too techy, but can follow instructions....so wheres the best place to get info on how this would work? Is it an easy fix?

Do you know of any smf forums that already do this?

Thanks again.

It comes from PayPal.com, it is HTML coding, and yes, alot of forums use it

There are many free pdf software packages. If you're paying someone to do it that's different, paying for labour is fine.

PHP has a pdf addon which should easily allow any html to be converted to PDF on-the-fly for free.

Anyone with basic coding knowledge should be able to make a mod which converts forum topics > PDF
