PDF export bug fixes and improvements

1.9M2 adds a few important features and addresses several issues related to the PDF export feature:
  • PDFs now contain a cover page and a table of contents page. pdf1.png pdf2.png
  • Changed the default font to FreeSerif, as it looks better on paper. pdf3.png
  • Scaled images preserve the custom dimensions in PDFs also, with the exception that the aspect ratio is always preserved to be the same as the original image, and:
  • Images are prevented from overflowing the paper, by being automatically scaled down to the maximum available space.
  • The export works when running the container as a user with no home directory, since now the cache is correctly created in the temporary directory.
  • A few style changes.

Office Importer bug fixes and improvements

Mailsender improvements

In 1.9M2 the SMTP setting (username, password, server port, and extra Javamail properties which allow to enable SSL) are easier to configure (now accessible in the Administration -> General tab), and are by default visible in the wiki. Previously, they had to be manually added to the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class. These settings are also used with the registration confirmation email.
