== Overview ==

This proposal aims to provide the capability to print a metadata record in PDF format.
The PDF layout is simple (ie. similar to the default flat mode of the HTML output) and provide link back to the catalogue to view the complete metadata record.


The related resources section provides links to :

 * the HTML page of the metadata record using http://localhost:8080/geonetwork?uuid=da165110-88fd-11da-a88f-000d939bc5d8
 * the XML document using http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/xml.metadata.get?uuid=da165110-88fd-11da-a88f-000d939bc5d8
 * and links to download or WMS links when available.

A link is added to the metadata view page:

== Proposal == 

PDF output is provided for all schemas:

 * iso19139
 * iso19115
 * iso19110
 * fgdc
 * dublin-core

See attachments for examples.


To add this capability to a new schema:
 * Create a metadata-{schemaId}-fop.xsl in the present directory of the schema
 * Create a template called metadata-fop-{schemaId} which is used by layout-pdf.xsl
{{{
<xsl:template name="metadata-fop-iso19139">
}}}
 * Include this XSL in metadata-{schemaId}.xsl using 
{{{
  <xsl:include href="metadata-iso19139-fop.xsl"/>
}}}
