Searched words: 
PDF, setup, save to PDF, PDF printer

Here's a quick and easy way to make your clients cry tears of joy... Give them one click 'save to PDF' on any Drupal node

All you need is the print module, which you can find here --> http://drupal.org/project/print

then you just have to download and extract the following into your print module directory, ( /sites/all/modules/print/dompdf to be exact ) --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/dompdf/

then delete the dompdf.php file from what you just unzipped

then go to the module settings page and configure,

then go to your server and make the /lib directory under the dompdf module accessible to www-data (you know, chown www-data lib/ ....)

then go and get a cookie, you deserve it

Download and extract directly into print/lib

It had dejavusans as the default but seemed to suggest helvetica.
Also changed the Font size base to 12 (from 10).

[title] - [site-name] - [mod-yyyy]-[mod-mm]-[mod-dd]

Icon only
