[Seaside] WAComponent and HTML Emails?

[Boris Popov]

1. Google for PDFReactor, I really enjoy the degree to which the documents can be customized and its rendering engine with support for SVG creates great results.
2. Ignore it, our application is built around sessions owned by contacts, so this just simulates full context for components to render on a stream that is later fed to a PDF generator with matching styles.

Cheers!

Hi Boris,

	can you tell which pdf generation tool are you using? I'm not sure
about understanding right the contact part in "Component>>asPDF: contact"

	cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
