Hi,

I would like to configure an alternate Path tho the PDF libraries. I suggest, that the Module by default looks inside its own Directory and that the user can give an alternate path to its own Libraries.

It would be more effectively to upgrade or maintenance the print module.

If you like, i will serve a patch.

Thanks
Joshua

I like your suggestion, but this is not the way to do it..

I have suggested in core Drupal's issue queue that a folder be created where these kinds of libs can be mantained. Please go to #397154: Add support for user-selectable external library path and add your vote for such a thing.. This could easily be created in time to come out with Drupal 7.

As to the ease of upgrading the module.. I am for sure the person that installs it the most, and I understand your problem. If you're in Linux, there's a very simple solution to it: unzip TCPDF or dompdf to the folder of your choice, and then create a symbolic link to the library folder inside the module's directory (something like: cd sites/all/modules/print; ln -s ~/lib/tcpdf)

Hi João,

Full ACK to your lib-folder suggestion. It would be nice.

Our Drupal installation is in a subversion repository. Svn can handle Symlinks but the programmers win32 cleints doesn't.
