All-
I'm somewhat mystified that I can't seem to find support for this
feature in Org mode. I looked through the manual and mailing list, but
it seems no one has used -- or even wanted -- this feature. However,
it's one of the (very few) things I can find lacking in org-mode. Is
there a chance this will be implemented in the future?
LaTeX-heavy files especially would benefit from export-to-pdf (and
indeed, this is why I want it). The lack of this feature is the one
thing that gives me pause about using org-mode to take notes in
college.
Thank you.

That does work, but you seem to lose all the hyperlinks. Also, the
quality of the typesetting is not stellar. In principle, you could get
good typesetting and working links in the PDF file by going through
pdflatex. However, I imagine that implementing a latex backend for org
would be a lot of work, so I hesitate to suggest it. Muse-mode might
be a better fit for anyone who needs this sort of functionality.
Cheers

I completely agree that this feature would be nice. I often wish I could
print my org files in a professional looking manner, without headlines
getting cut off or urls and page numbers appearing at the top, which happens
with html export, which is the easiest way to print from a remote shell or
Emacs in Windows. Taking an agenda from org into a meeting would be a lot
easier with a nice PDF printer. Of course I realize this is no easy task and
so it's no mystery why it isn't implemented.
If you come up with a good solution please do share.
Thanks,
Scott

If we want good PDF output from org-mode, the best way is almost
certainly a good LaTeX exporter. Producing one would be
time-consuming, but probably not all that hard, since it could start
with a straightforward port of the HTML exporter. PDF export could
then just run the LaTeX exporter and pdflatex (or whatever other path
to pdf you prefer). This will require an additional install on
Windows (e.g. MiKTeX), but that honestly shouldn't be a problem for
anyone running Emacs.
I would like to have this feature, and I think I could probably
implement it myself, but unfortunately I know that I don't have time
to.

If anyone does want to try and implement this, then muse mode and bhl
mode might be good places to look for ideas and re-usable code.

to get hyperlinks etc from latex into pdf, the best option is to
use package hyperref

I also found this extremely useful. Is it now possible to export .org to
.muse file?
