Hi all
I wasn’t sure of the best route to ask these questions, so please re-direct
me if this is the wrong place...
I have a few questions about the in-built printing that I hope someone can
help with:
1) I am struggling to use the functionality to result in a PDF with a basic
layout/legend, I can get an image with a legend (see links below), but a PDF
doesn’t work. Can anyone help tell me what I need to do to fix this? Thanks

2) Another point to raise is that I can’t get a singular legend box for the
layers, currently (as shown in the first link) I get multiple boxes, one for
each layer – can this be changed in my xml file I create or is this a
development request?
3) I really like this basic printing capability and was wondering if it
could be made easier to manage/work with by including it in the overall
GeoServer Interface? Is there any desire to do this?
Thanks and apologies if I’ve sent this to the wrong place!
Steve

Hi Mauro,
Is there a simple way to do printing with the print module? As in, just use a simple URL (as can be done with decorations) which will then provide a nice print - similar to what Steve expresses an interest in with his question 3.
As best I can tell, the print module requires a fairly complex front end system (typically GeoExt) to interact fully with the API. Is there a simpler way to get it to create prints? Ideally with a “simple” GET request.
Cheers,
Jonathan

What you are using here is not a printing functionality, but rather the decoration one. This allows you to get an image from WMS with some layout, but it’s not meant to support complete printing capabilities.
You can get a pdf using the wms service (simply changing the format parameter from image/png to application/pdf) but unfortunately decorations are not supported by the pdf output format.
For real printing there is a printing plugin, that uses the MapFish-Print library (http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/).
Currently the plugin is available as an extension for the 2.6.x (upcoming) release or as a community module (using an older version of mapfish-print libs) for 2.5.x and 2.4.x,. You can download it here:
2.6.x: http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/geoserver/master/ext-latest/geoserver-2.6-SNAPSHOT-printing-plugin.zip
2.5.x: http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/geoserver/2.5.x/community-latest/geoserver-2.5-SNAPSHOT-printing-plugin.zip
2.4.x: http://ares.boundlessgeo.com/geoserver/2.4.x/community-latest/geoserver-2.4-SNAPSHOT-printing-plugin.zip
Some documentation on the plugin and the related configuration can be found here:
2.6.x: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/extensions/printing/index.html
previous versions: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/community/printing/index.html

Nope, there is not.
I once fancied setting up print templates in the form of SVG files, with
elements having IDs assigned to them, so that the code
would know where to put the legend, the map, where to expand the titles,
and then pass all the extra info needed via
url parameters, to get more or less what you're asking for.
However, most people interested in doing prints go for the print system,
which as you say provides a complex but nice
GUI for setting up the printout
