[pmwiki-users] Using output of action=print (authenticated) to something like htmldoc

[Patrick R. Michaud]

I've gone ahead and rewritten the generatepdf.php script;
just download a new copy of the script from 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/GeneratePDF 
and follow the instructions.  It now understands authorizations.

One can see the script's results at
