The Tabblo Print Toolkit (TPT) is a suite of developer tools for making websites more printable.

The toolkit includes these components:

• Recipes: These are JavaScript which you write and include on each page that has printable content. The recipe is like a Print CSS file — it identifies the content on the page which should be printed.
• Harvester: A client-side JavaScript library which, directed by your recipe, harvests content from your page.
• Templates: These are layouts which have been professionally designed for a better printed version of your web page's content.
• Layout Engine: Server-side technology which combines your harvested content with templates to produce beautiful printed pages. Currently, our engine can generate a PDF file with text flowed into multiple columns, include photos inline with text, and allow text to flow around photos.

How can I incorporate TPT on my site?

To use TPT on your site, you need to do a few things:

1. Create a 'recipe' — JavaScript which identifies the content which should be printed.
2. Include your recipe in the header of the page which you want to change.
3. Create a Print link, that invokes the TPT function.

Complete instructions are on the TPT Documentation page.
