Workplace Monthly has an interesting and well written article for printing web part lists. Only one part of the process is expanded for the benefit of users' new to Sharepoint. The other steps are well expanded in 'Workplace Monthly'. It is quite easy to do without the need for Sharepoint Designer. The following are the steps:

Adding Code to Custom Editor Web Part

• Ensure that you are in the 'List' page to which print functionality is required
• Select Site Actions > Edit Page
• Click 'Add a Web Part
• Select 'Content Editor Web Part' and click the 'Add' button. Note that the Web Part is added
• Click 'edit' pop-list in the content editor web part added and select 'Modify Shared Web part'
• Click 'Source Editor' button. This displays a window to which code can be inserted
• Add the code to this page (The code is the one referred to in 'Workplace Monthly' article
• Click 'Save'

   

Find the Web Part ID

(3) The last step in the process is the find the Web Part ID of the list and linking to the 'Print' button. As it is well explained in the source article, kindly refer to Workplace Monthly article. This displays a neat 'Print' button in the web part. As the web part Id is passed as a parameter, one can have any number of 'Print' buttons or links, each referencing a different list. Quite handy!

The URL to the Workplace Monthly Article is broken. Does anyone know another location for it?

I know that there are some commercial solutions for pdf conversion. http://www.muhimbi.com/Product...Point.aspx is one of them. I have never tried it. Google to check if there are open source solutions available.

With Office 2007 functionality, I feel it should be possible

Hi, great article. Was wondering, what would be the next step to getting the popup window to offer a PDF download of the content for download?
