Why can't we keep it very simple? Just add a link
to the existing PDF. Why do people need to create
their own PDF? From the usability point the current solution is not nice. When I click on "Zope book" in 
the navigation I expect to see a link to the PDF and 
the online HTML version...not yet another form with several
unrelated buttons to generate the PDF (this is for 
advanced users only).

I have changed the BackTalk Book 'PDF' action view necessary
permission from 'Manage Properties' to 'View', so now it
appears to anonymous users, but is showing an error related
to reportlab python module, I guess...

Zope guys, could you take a look at this (or send me zope
server access data...)?

The link "PDF" on 

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/view

ot the PDF version of the Zope Book is only available
for authenticated users. It must be visible also
for anonymous users because of the importance of the book
as primary information source (People are asking 
*very often* for the PDF version). So it must be visible
in prominent place.
