Enable exporting to PDF

To export multiple articles to PDF or HTML files you need to:

• Install a program called HTMLDOC 
• Ensure Settings points to where you installed it
• Ensure that PHP has access to your HTMLDOC directory. (Check your open_basedir PHP setting in php.ini)
• Ensure that PHP can run the proc_open function. (Check your disable_functions, safe_mode_exec_dir PHP settings in php.ini)
• Buy the export plugin  or try it in Demo mode
• Add the plugin key to your KBPublisher settings

Install HTMLDOC

• HTMLDOC is available from http://www.htmldoc.org
• Download it and install it

Update the setting to point to HTMLDOC

Once you have installed HTMLDOC, you also need to set the correct path it in the Settings.

• You can find this under Settings menu, Settings -> Plugins -> HTMLDOC installation path
• Make sure the HTMLDOC installation path points to the directory where you installed HTMLDOC. For example: /usr/local/bin/.
• When you click "Save", test HTML file will be parsed and error occurs if it failed. 

Buy the plugin

Export functionality is not available with the default KBPublisher package. You must purchase it separately.
Please see this article how to buy the plugin.

• Log on to your knowledgebase
• Go to the Admin Area
• Click on the Settings menu
• Click on the Plugins tab
