We hit this ALL the time: We have a nice, pretty case in FB, with screen shots, and all the related info.

And we need to send this off to the Foo company (who publishes an api, and this FB case of ours is actually documenting a problem in THEIR api, so we gotta communicate this to them... but they don't use our FB...).

I have asked Fog Creek for this before, and they just say "print from your browser to a pdf driver" But this gives dog food pdf, that is not formatted well, and images are cut off, making all our nice annotated screen shots useless. (we have tried from multiple browsers, and multiple pdf tools, like cutepdf and acrobat pro).

Also, sometimes I need to edit it a tad first (to remove the comment that says "Foo API sucks") before I send it to Foo. So a Word export would be great.

The Confluence system we use has awesome PDF and Word exports.

We really feel pain not having this in Fogbugz.

We promise to use this feature often, and to praise its usefulness to all within 20 feet of our lunch room.

Thank you!

(I apologize if this is a dupe, but I did look around first before creating this feature request.)

A note RE completeness of feature: Confluence also lets us edit the "master" template that is used when the PDF is generated server side. This lets us make sure "Confidential" and that kind of lingo is always on the exported PDFs. (Another way that a central PDF feature is superior to doing it on desktops.)

As a workaround for the editing part, I use this bookmarklet: javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true';document.designMode='on';void(0); Click it to make the page editable in the browser. – Michel de Ruiter Jan 16 2012 at 7:52

Another workaround for editing before printing (in FireFox at least) is the Print Edit browser extension: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit – db Jan 16 2012 at 14:49
Guys, Thanks! But workarounds don't help me ... at all. I support about a dozen users, and at least half need this feature. – sam jones Jan 16 2012 at 19:47
@sam customizing the @media print css might still help you (the 7009 link above). – Michel de Ruiter Jan 16 2012 at 23:57

We copy and past the case from FB to word or other program and then edit and save as PDF or print to a PDF.

Does that work if the case has lots of screen shots, etc? (Methinks not?) – Sam Jones Jul 9 at 16:43
