== 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).
It provides link to :

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

A link is added to the metadata view page:

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"/>
}}}


=== Backwards Compatibility Issues ===
None.

=== New libraries added ===
