 * Hello again,
 * I’m back as I bang my head against the wall trying to do what seems like should
   be a simple task: add custom css and html to the template.
 * I’ve been modifying wp-post-to-pdf.php to adapt my own page layout, following
   instructions from TCPDF.org – but the simplest css is not being applied, and 
   am I’m having a terrible time aligning images in a simple table.
 * Are there any parameters specific to this plugin that might hinder some of these
   basic functions?
 * Authors, you giving support for this plugin?
    Many thanks! -jennyb

 * Hi again, Jenny…
 * What are you trying to add, and where?
 * It might be easier to include your css hacks to your site’s stylesheet, instead(
   just a thought).

 * Hi again Lewis,
 * Yes so I was able to find some discussion over on the SourceForge forums about
   how a lot of CSS attributes don’t work in TCPDF, such as text-transform and text-
   margins. I’ve started doing some basic testing and am compiling a list of what
   works and what doesn’t.
 * The other issue that was (is) giving me trouble, was integrating images. I had
   wanted to include high-res images, but it seems that the only way to do so is
   by using absolute positioning. For my purposes, that was just way too labor intensive.
   I’m currently experimenting with tables for the page layout – and whereas going
   between mm and pixels is proving challenging, I am making progress!
 * Will be happy to post some of my code when I’m further along. It’s pretty cool
   as the content doesn’t actually come from the published page, but other, non-
   published, custom-meta from the same post. 🙂
 * cheers,
    -jennyb

 * Hi, Jenny…
 * Yes, TCPDF is an odd package. I also discovered some CSS which it seems to want
   to ignore. I installed [FD Footnotes](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fd-footnotes/),
   which displays correctly and even renders nicely in the PDF, however, the separator
   line is omitted in the PDF. The CSS for the line (in my theme’s style.css) is:
 *     ```
       .footnotes .footnotedivider {
         width: 120px;
         border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note that the text formatting for the footnote numbering (superscript, bold, 
   underlined) remains intact, and the footnotes themselves print as expected. [Example post](http://www.2rosenthals.net/wordpress/migrating-a-bare-metal-windows-2000-install-to-a-virtualbox-guest-624/).
 * I’ve also tried upgrading the TCPDF version in WP Post to PDF, but have not quite
   gotten it to work.
 * Your image issue seems like an interesting puzzle to solve; I’m curious to see
   how you do that or work around it. I agree that the absolute positioning bit 
   is a considerable amount of overkill, particularly if you have a good number 
   of images.
 * Good luck with it, and please do post your results!
 * Cheers
 * Lewis
