Hello,

is it possible with Cobalt 7 to make PDF files of the content?

Thanks an kind regards

There is nothing built in. But there are any online services that convert paged to PDF. You can connect any of them on the level of template. It will be just a link that will open article as PDF. You will only have to add to article url tmpl=component and it will generate only article without Joomla modules.

But those services usually paid.

That is because there is not good conversion solution. Usually good converters are Windows server based services that are using Microsoft library to convert HTML to PDF. Php cannot do it good.
