To export part of this wiki to PDF the links below may help.
The simplest way to keep PDF copies of wiki pages is to print them as PDF's directly from your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome). For example:
 
1. Go to the page you want. We'll use the [[Error Codes]] page. Selecting pages that contain entire categories is the most efficient way to do this.
 
3. On the main menu of your browser, select "File"->"Print".
 
4. Select Printer "PDF Printer," or it may say "Save to PDF".
 
5. Select page numbers and other options as needed.

Mediawiki also provides extensions which will let you download PDF copies of pages. These options are currently being researched, since the links don't work right now.
