PDF Export with Awstats

[Bdiddy]

One of the features mentioned at the Awstats site is the ability to export stats in PDF format. I can't find how to do this anywhere. Anyone know how? :confused:

I'm using Awstats 5.9.

I don't spot that claim. Where is it?

I do see a claim to be able to recognize Adobe PDF Reader as a "browser" in the browser statistics.

Some quotes from the AWstats Sourceforge home page and V. 5.9 download page:


"One of the most important new feature are the webmin module and the PDF export."



"WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION
-------------------------------------------------
- A lot of fix in PDF export:
Graph in PDF export are no more inverted.
The link "close window" in generated PDF pages is replaced by "back to main
page".
Infos popup window from hostinfo plugin is not included in PDF export. Popup
can't work into PDF.
PDF export seems to work correctly now."



"Features/Softwares AWStats
------------------------------------------------
Export statistics to PDF Experimental"


I also found a couple people asking how enable the PDF feature in the Awstats Sourceforge forums, but there were no replies.

This would be a great feature if it could be enabled...

All right, I think I figured out what they might mean by "PDF Export." If you have Adobe Full (which I do), you can IMPORT it into Adobe, and Adobe will automatically generate a PDF file from the webpage. I tried it and it worked perfectly.

If this is, in fact, what they mean by "PDF export," it's a little misleading. There should be an "export to Adobe" or "create PDF" link somewhere on the stats page. You shouldn't have to open Adobe and manually import it.

Well, based on the text you quote (which I missed somehow), I would expect it to be able to write PDF directly. Interesting.
