Drawio with multiple pages to a single PDF or XML

[marpate1]

Hi,

I find that when I have a multi-page drawio file and run this against drawio-export to convert to PDF, I get one file which contains all pages and separate files for the page 2 onwards:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 107186 Sep 25 15:38 test-OAM.pdf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  22761 Sep 25 15:38 test-DNN1---be.pdf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  22850 Sep 25 15:38 test-DNN2---sw.pdf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  23928 Sep 25 15:38 test-DNN3---rt-video.pdf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  23682 Sep 25 15:38 test-DNN4---rt-auto.pdf

But then, if I use drawio-export to export xml, I get a file for each page, but each file contains exactly the same detail (all pages). So it seems that the export to PDF works differently to xml.

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  54009 Sep 25 15:39 test-OAM.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  54009 Sep 25 15:39 test-DNN1---be.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  54009 Sep 25 15:39 test-DNN2---sw.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  54009 Sep 25 15:39 test-DNN3---rt-video.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  54009 Sep 25 15:39 test-DNN4---rt-auto.xml

Is it possible to limit the output to a single file for PDF?

Many thanks!

Hello,

I can't reproduce the issue with PDF export. I try with the latest release and the one at your issue creation time. Can you tell me more about the command line you use?

But for XML, I can reproduce it. I will investigate in which part of the stack the issue is.

For the PDF issue, this seems related to #85 (and jgraph/drawio#3597). It's been fixed since the v4.7.0 of drawio-export.

For the XML issue, I discovered that for XML export, the process doesn't support page per page.

I will update the backend drawio-exporter to support this usecase (rlespinasse/drawio-exporter#56)
