I want to be able to construct research ideas, dump the result to pdf and send that to my boss. With that in mind, here are my thoughts on pdf creation:


(.)Hierarchy of idea space should be preserved in the pdf 'Table of Contents'

(.)Thumbnails of idea space seem to loose their thumbnail-ness Smile See at the url below

(.)Thumbnails of idea spaces are links within curio, these links should be preserved in the pdf output. So if I click on the thumbnail in the pdf it should take me to that page for the idea space in the pdf

(.)Disable automatic rotation of idea spaces in output, simply make those pages landscape pages in the pdf output

(.) I know this request might be out there, but what the heck. Ok I have pdf's imbedded in my idea space with thumbnails representing those pdfs. Could you append those imbedded pdfs to the end of the pdf output such that when I click on the pdf thumbnail it takes me to the appended page?

The loss of thumbnail-ness is definitely something we'll check out. I'm not sure why it's doing that!

You can turn off rotation by unchecking the Curio > Preferences > Idea Space > "Auto rotate to minimize scaling" checkbox.

When I turn off the rotation, the thumbnail-ness returns. I'm not quite sure why. I turned the rotation back on and the thumbnail-ness got messed up again. I hope this helps out with debugging.
