K2 Item - Print or PDF option was created by Kris
Looking to see if there is an extension that will allow to easily print a K2 item as seen on screen or produce a PDF of it.

Hello Kris,

I used Print Friendly - printfriendly.com/button

Note: they do not offer a plugin, you will need to use the "Website" type. It provides Javascript code that you can then add within your template.

Here is another possible solution (I have never used it):
cmext.vn/download/mpdf-joomla-library

I hope this helps,

Joe Campbell

Actually, what I am looking for a a option to add to K2 at the Item level that would allow the user to print the page as its already rendered in html.

AS you may know if you try the browser print option you get undesirable results.

so basically something that prints the item info only, as rendered.

You can replace the default print button with the printfriendly button.

It offers the ability to:
- off visitors the ability to remove content elements: images, paragraphs
- create a PDF (letter or A4 size)
- you can utilize your own print CSS file

Power Tip: create/use a header with your logo that is only visible when the page is printed (preferable JPG)

It is missing the submit button - send the company a tweet along with a screenshot:
Invalid consumer key/secret in configuration

In the meantime, you can use the code provided on this page, just scroll down to the "Option B: Manually Add PrintFriendly Code to Template" section
