PDF generation

Hello guys,


I'm trying to convert our HTML output view (from XForm) to PDF. I saw that Orbeon supports two types of conversion:
1. based on template
2. browser view as it is

Unfortunately I couldn't find documentation for this. All I got is this link

I'm interested in conversion type 2 but only partial screen. For example I have a buttons section that I don't want to be printed in PDF. Is this possible?
Can you please also point me to a more detailed documentation?


regards,
Alexandru

There isn't much to say about #2: right now, you there isn't an Orbeon
Forms configuration that would allow you to say that you want to
ignore certain parts of your form when printing. I can see two ways of
dealing with this:

1) Someone implements such a configuration in Orbeon Forms.
2) You may be able to use CSS for this, saying that in print mode,
certain sections are not displayed. E.g. using: @media print {
#gaga-section-group { display: none; } }, if your section ID is
"gaga".
