Optionally Export pdf without revision and author information #1040
Reference in New Issue
Block a user
Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @mark-james on GitHub (Feb 14, 2019).
Describe the feature you'd like
When exporting a page as a pdf have a modal that allows the user to exclude revision and author information from the pdf.
Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
When pages are used as either templates or presentation collateral to be used by a customer we don't want the customer to see the author and revision information. Because it's a pdf it's difficult to edit afterwards.
Additional context
This somewhat relates to #992 however I believe it's significantly less ambitious to implement. By executing this as a modal after the export pdf is clicked further export options could be added later.

This is super needed. I was going to export a bunch of user documentation from our wiki to use for client training. but i do not want these links in it. The user will have no access to the wiki. There is no public/guest visbile data.

This is something I would also like to see, but would maybe require an extra screen with options before exporting (whereas currently the export button goes straight to a download).
Adding extra "without footer" variants to the export menu would look cluttered in my opinion, but is another option.
The way I work around this is exporting a page as HTML, removing the footer information in a text editor then using my browser's print to PDF feature, or an online converter to save the result as a PDF.

I need this aswell. Don't want to have those Data in Footer.
Maybe some Options in Settings to disable Footer?
And or make it customizable via Overrides?

We would like to use BookStack for ISO documentation but this missing feature is one of of the serious obstacles. It's a pity since BookStack is really very close and almost ideal for this purpose. Just the page numbering and better footer handling are missing.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Dec 12, 2020):
It's possible to do this via the theme system.
Quick Guide
Add
APP_THEME=customto your BookStack.envfile.Within your BookStack installation, create the file at the path
themes/custom/partials/entity-export-meta.blade.php. You should already have athemesdirectory but you'll need to create thecustomandpartialsdirectories The file you create can be blank.You should no longer have the footer content in exports.
Note, while the view system itself is stable, the files you override using it are not so you'd want to check your overrides are still working after any updates.

I achieve this by hiding the version and author with some basic CSS in the settings screen under custom header. This seems to suppress it nicely for PDF and for encapsulated HTML exports.

Hello everybody,
as I have not found anything new about this feature, I tried to set this up according to Dan's comment from December 2020. It is working correctly, there is just a different file, you need to override.
If you want to remove the version revisions in the footer, just create a blank file at the path
themes/custom/exports/parts/meta.blade.php.Also, any content in this file will be displayed in the page's footer instead of the revision information.
I hope, that this helps someone.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Nov 8, 2022):
Since this can be achieved via the visual theme system, as explained above, I'm going to therefore go ahead and close this off.

I fixed this for myself by adding a display: none style to the settings/customization/Custom HTML Head Content block of my bookstack web UI. Inside the "HTML Head Content" block, just add:
<style> .entity-meta { display: none; } <style/> if you already have a style reference in there, then just add: .entity-meta { display: none; } inside the <style> element This works nicely for me, I hope it works the same for everyone else.@oppassum commented on GitHub (Dec 3, 2024):
I realize this is an older issue but since I just found it, some of you may also be interested in this:
I used @ConfusedHelpticon's recommendation for .entity-meta {display: none;} -- but I still wanted to show the revision on the page, just not on the PDF.
I adapted it to be surrounded by @media print { } so that it would only hide it when trying to export.
Full code:
<style> @media print { .entity-meta { display: none !important; } } <style/> NOTE: this worked for the PDF export, but NOT the contained web file export.
