How to create PDF for product description in Magento - magento

I was searching the different Magento forums and extensions for this but i didn’t find anything.
What i want is to let my visitors to create a PDF file with image and description for the products they are interested.
With this will have the ability to save the product on its computer or print it.
This will be some kind of a printout offer.
The PDF must include the title, default image, description and price.
Thanks in advance!

I dont think there is a default solution for this yet in magento, best thing to do is implement a PDF creator for PHP. Like PDFLib

Swap Images is not working in Magento 1.9

i've uploaded an image to a single child product of a simple configurable product but it's not swapping when clicking on the swatch.
can anyone help please?
Have a look at this comprehensive tutorial on how to add swatches into your product website. Link to configurable swatches
There is also a YouTube tutorial on this, which uses the built in function of Magento 1.9
Lastly, I suggest you add the magento-1.9 tag to your question, or add more details regarding your code/structure so others can pinpoint the exact issue.
There are also paid options available, which you might want to consider if it's what you want: extensionmall link for Magento
Honestly I have not used this platform before. So again do add the tag and others can assist you.

How to map products to manufacturers with MAGMI

This is probably a stupid question, but I haven’t had any luck figuring this out. How does MAGMI add products to the manufacturers_products table? Right now, it is not doing this so products are not displaying on the frontend when browsing by manufacturer unless I open the product in the backend for edit then click “Save”…which is obviously not a solution. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all!
This manufacturers_product table is surely an extension specific table. so not a magento table. clicking "save" on product will call the extension that will identify the manufacturer of the product & put it in extension specific table. so if you want magmi to fill an extension specific table, you need to have a specific plugin that would do this job.

Gallery of images with long descriptions in Joomla

I need to make something like gallery of magazine covers in joomla, and after clicking one image, it should open a page, where viewer would see an image of cover (that he could open in full size) and table of contents with links to some articles. Administrator should also be able to (reasonably) easily add a new covers with content to a gallery. I'm more like a Drupal guy, so I'm asking Joomla guys - what would be the best/easiest way to achieve this (including using extensions etc)? :)
You should be able to do that within the standard Joomla framework. In this case -
Have a main category that each issue would be a subcategory of.
Each issue of the magazine would be a new category, the magazine cover would be the image for that category.
Add the content as articles in the appropriate category
Display the parent category to get the listing of each issue.
Clicking the category would then display a list of links to the articles within the category.
This can definitely be accomplished with the K2 extension, but you can probably do it within the Joomla category/article framework with some simple template overrides.
To suit your needs, you will be best off using a Photo Gallery component and changing the link from opening an iframe/full size image, to an article OR a Portfolio component which I think might be the easier option.
One of my personal favorites is BT Content Slider. I have used it on multiple pages and adapted the code to suit our own needs and it works like a charm. Would also recommend it for you too.

To get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it

I am new to joomla and I have a problem:
The challenge is to get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable
PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it.
Virtuemart already have a download after paying ability, but not for
custom created files/pdfs.
Joomla can also already create pdfs from front-end files, so I assume
it is possible to achieve this.
Any suggestions as to how I should go about this will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
I would package this in a custom component, basically you need to:
create a link in Virtuemart that links to the component relating to the order_item
check that order_item is paid
produce the PDF by outputting some page content and putting it through the PDF output of Joomla
I haven't used Joomla's PDF output, it may be just as easy to use FPDF, rosPDF or you could use an existing PDF by installing pdftk (on a VM or dedicated server only)
HTH, Jochen
