Org to PDF webpage

Org to PDF webpage

[Bastien]

Hi folks,

i just set up a webpage that let you upload an Org file and receive a
nice PDF document back.  It is based on Org 5.04 and org-export-latex
0.22 (and pdflatex).

I guess nobody needs this in this list, but maybe you can tell your
non-LaTeX friends. A good occasion to learn LaTeX. Or Org. Or Emacs :)

Enjoy,

Nice idea, this could be implemented in org-mode itself too.

Doesn't work for me, though; server responds to my upload with
spitting out an HTML page with Python error traceback; here it is:

         Traceback (most recent call last):
           File "org-to-pdf.py", line 123, in ?
             f = open(os.path.join(UPLOAD_DIR, target_pdf), 'r')
         IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/guerry/legito.net/tmp/tasks.pdf'

I've tried several Org files.

Worked well for me, but for some reason came back with the name Bastien
Guerry under the title.

Do you mean implementing Org -> PDF conversion in Org? Yes, this is the
purpose of the LaTeX exporter.

Anyway: i started this webpage as a little demonstration of the LaTeX
exporter, nothing more. I guess it's easier to do it locally when you
have this opportunity.

Can you send me the files and the relevant parts of your configuration?
It might happen that this is a bug of org-export-latex.

Thanks!

This is because you didn't explicitely specify an #+AUTHOR in your file.
So the server thinks Bastien Guerry is the author...

I hope it won't let me into copyright troubles :)
