Features
Bookshelf is an extension of the package BlueSpice Bookmaker. Bookshelf enables you to combine different wiki articles to create books and also to export those as a pdf document.
Where do I find the features of Bookshelf?
You can call up the page with the bookshelf in different ways. One method is to open the Widgetbar. The menu item Manage books leads you to the appropriate page, where you can organize your books. In the Book Manager, you can edit, delete or add books.
Due to the fact that the WidgetBar can be customized by for every user, it is possible that the Bookshelf feature is not listed there. You can add it to the WidgetBar by adding BOOKSHELF in the list of your WidgetBar tools. Another way is to go to the special pages. You can find the link under "BlueSpice" -> "Book Manager".
All available export features are also listed in the WidgetBar under the menu item "Export". You can choose between exporting PDF single page or PDF single page with attachments. If you want to convert books, or parts of a book, into the PDF format, you can find this feature right at the appropriate book in the Book Manager. Call up the book you want to export and you can see the export button in the right upper corner.
