The goal of this project is to provide the user with a simple way of turning a page hosted on a server running MediaWiki into a high quality PDF version. This project provides a simple default mode which just requires the URL to the page and creates a PDF file, by processing the HTML generated by the MediaWiki server. It also provides extended possibilities giving a fine grained control over the conversion process to users familiar with LaTeX. Particular care was taken to provide reasonable defaults for this way of processing for the needs of the English and German Wikibooks projects. Since the goal of this project is to create PDF versions, it is clear that the images are also downloaded, and if necessary modified for use in a LaTeX document. It is also clear that the generated LaTeX source has to compile without any further post processing. The last test run showed that this was the case for 495 of 500 alphabetically chosen featured articles on the English Wikipedia.
