This is a great plugin, and we've been using it to export printable handbooks. There is one feature, though, that we sorely miss: the ability to include media files in the book.

Basically this set up:

  • [[page_1]]
  • [[page_2]]
  • {{media.pdf}}
  • [[page_3]]

We have a lot of scanned brochures and forms in .pdf format that need to be included within our eBook.

I hope you'll consider this extension! It would probably rely on dw2pdf also making an update...

dw2pdf is based at the mPDF libary. This library has a function to include/import pdfs.
Eventually dw2pdf can be extended to interpret {{media.pdf}} as command to use this function to include a pdf.

Any help is welcome! Unfortunately, I haven't time for this step..

However, what I know about that import feature is that it support only pdf's up to an certain version of pdf 1.5 or 1.6...(or version number like that). What the pdf of your brochures would be limited. (There seems also a company that has some payed support for a drop-in library that can be combined with mpdf for newer stuff, but not sure how that exactly goes and whether I'm right there.)
