DrWhy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks,

At work we are looking for tools to help us communally develop product requirements documents. It strikes me that a wiki (I personally like the look of Kwiki best) could possibly be a good tool for this. However, we need this system to be able to 'output' the documents developed there into more business-friendly formats like MS Word .doc, PDF, or something similar. I've look around and found tools that will import from these kinds of formats into the Wiki, but haven't seen much that goes the other way.

Do any of you monks out there know of a plug-in for Kwiki (or Twiki or any wiki for that matter) that lets you take snapshots of the wiki pages in formats like those mentioned above?

    Kwiki is usually read as HTML, and HTML to PDF seems like a fairly common thing, what is missing?

      What's missing is a plug-in for Kwiki that does the conversion at the click of a button. We need that kind of convenience if this is going to work -- and it seems unlikely that we'll have the resource to roll our own at this point.
