Resource directories¶

The Plone Client connector allows you to define your own resource directories containing

the PDF main template
style sheets
font files
hyphenation files

Registering your own resource directory¶

First you need your own policy - e.g. zopyx.theme. Inside the configure.zcml file of your zopyx.theme you need to register a sub-directory using the smartprintng:resourceDirectory directive:

<configure
    xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
    xmlns:zcml="http://namespaces.zope.org/zcml"
    xmlns:smartprintng="http://namespaces.zopyx.com/smartprintng"
    >

    <smartprintng:resourceDirectory
      name="zopyx_resource"
      directory="resources_pdf"
      />

</configure>

The registered resources_pdf directory must contain all resource files as flat structure (no sub-directories). The name parameter relates to the optional resource URL parameter as use for the @@asPlainPDF browser view.
