Hi -
I found here on the forums how to include the pdf of one item found through a search on the search results page.......
What I am wondering is if there is a way to create one pdf file that will show all of the articles found through a search?
Thanks -
Joanei

Hi

You can use the template operator for searching to reproduce the search result, and generate a PDF from the result. You'll need to have a dedicated template override to generate the PDF, and I suggest passing the search parameters as user parameters.

Documentation:
Search operator - http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/data_fetching/content/search
User parameters - http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/custom_design/user_specified_parameters

Hi again --
Is there any way I could get you to give me a bit more detailed description of how I should do this? I just can't seem to get my brain around it this afternoon.........
thanks a million

guess I should add that I need to combine results from 5 different classes -each having its own pdf display override file

I figured this out and it rocks!! Thanks for the guidance on passing the variables -- I finally had the time to dig my heels in and work on this.....
