I think we are missing a few files :p

It's trying to point to pdfthread.php :)

Satan

Oh my god, how stupid of me.

I've updated the zip file.

Happens to the best of us ;)

Installed, very nice, working well :)

Just a thought - I copied the image from the attach folder over to the buttons folder, and it looks ok :)

Satan

It looks ok, but it is a little to small.

Just like the image I've put in the zip.

The pulldown menu is not completely straight.

this is cool, I like it.
Thanks for sharing :)

Installed here...

Great idea. :up:

What format does it print? Regular thread view, custom view, or "print thread" view?

Does it have a limit on thread size in the number of posts?

It looks very much like the printthread view.

Currently it adds ALL posts of a thread into one pdf.
