FINDING 20: People are increasingly getting information online, then consuming or sharing it offline. [1]
Based on research, the following user story is focused on
As a user, I want the ability to save a soft copy of an article from my mobile phone that I can read/share offline
Currently, when I print>pdf an article on mobilefrontend, the pdf is difficult to read and has issues around images
Here's how the pdf looks relatively on a big phone
User uses print option to export pdf of an article. We will focus on android platform level implementation of print>pdf. The research also suggests android has significantly larger penetration in the areas we are focusing [1]
Each printed article must contain the following:
Articles must not contain:
Style must be available (and tested on) for phones and tables on (at least) the following browsers:
I'm not saying that we have issues with styling for PDF, but the image of a downloaded PDF (with a crying face icon), looks like, is from an iOS device, while presumably we are paying more attention to Android. Here is a PDF downloaded from Chrome on Android. Looks neat if you ask me.
On another note, there is an option to download HTML too, which displays as nicely as the live site.
As for
Fix bug for article title not showing up in Print
Can you point me to the bug? I see an issue with toggled sections not showing, but I am not sure if that's the same as the one you mention.
@Nirzar ^
What about tablets? Do we want to render print styles as mobile (phone) all the time?
@Nirzar - something we've potentially overlooked - when printing on mobile, the default "print" size is "letter" - the new styles don't match with this. I wonder how we can get around this.
@bmansurov - the title on the mona lisa article is from the infobox - here's an example of an article without an infobox (and a table):

What are you referring too? crying face icon?
Also @ovasileva answered the title question.
@Nirzar
@bmansurov Oh i used an iphone for a picture, but it looks the same on android too. But I should update that as android is our primary user story.
T154964#3001642 needs to be answered, the pdf from ios and from android from @bmansurov look nothing alike. I've checked on my Android 5 Chrome and I see the same thing as @Nirzar
This smells, sounds and looks like an Epic and not a sprint task (IMO)
Also it would be great to have some QA pages that cover the different requirements so that there are clear QA steps when we start deploying this.
@Jhernandez I think that comment got lost because i thought Olga resolved it.
Looks neat if you ask me.
Ask a designer, maybe? :P lol not to be snarky but i would say "looks good to me" to a bad piece of code
the pdf from @bmansurov looks quite different than what i got on other android devices. and as @Jhernandez confirms, he is getting what I'm getting. does @bmansurov have any custom print settings? font size, paper size?
Good idea. some community member told me they use "Moon" article for print testing.
Morever to answer the title question. The Mona Lisa written in @bmansurov 's pdf is just the title from infobox. it happens to be there. the actual title of the page is not printing.
@Nirzar , I think I picked 4x5 inches as the paper size from the print dialog.
Removing the sprint tag, as we have split this task into multiple portions and created an epic - moving to epics column
