Include Icons in Export to PDF

Question

Hi
When a web template has exceptions applied to it, the user has the option to show those exceptions in colour, or with icons. Seeing that they print in black and white, it seemed like a better plan to show the exceptions with icons. This works in the web template, and looks quite nice, but when the data is downloaded to PDF (for printing), the icons are not included.
Is there something I need to do in order to allow icons to be included in the output to PDF?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,
Personally I found it very useful to get PDF export for WEB templates using simple PDF printers (like CutePDF, ADOBE, etc) you will get the exactly the same page as being displayed.
To be able to print whole page and not only the first page you would need to get focus on main fraime. For this add the Javascript element to your webtemplate and put there this code:
function PrintThisPage()
window.print();
for (var i=1; i < window . frames . length ; i++) 
window.frames [ i ] . focus(); window . frames [ i ] .print();
After that you just need to assign above function to a button in your web template. You might also need to specify the scaling factor on your printer as 80% or use fit to the page functionality of IE7.
