> PDF related problems
 
the whole relation/bookmark/pdf stuff has been widely rewritten by me now 
because of moving the tables to a central db so  a lot has changed there ...

>  - when $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] is set and 
> $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] is not set it produces just MySQL error 
> message, but IMHO it should report that it is wrong configured

shouldn't happen anymore because of the different way that i check this in 
libraries/relation.inc.php3 

> - when I want to have just one table in pdf and it doesn't have any 
> relations 
>  I get just "Undefined PDF page number!" error

please see if this will still happen with the new code, even then i think this 
is more a problem of giving a decent errormessage than of actually changing a 
lot there - there is not much sense in creating pdfs of only one table.
if you want a column list of one table have a look at tbl_printview

 
> - is it possible to have one table on more pages?

yes it is, but should allready have been possible with the code you have this 
is what we created the pdf_pages table for.

? i was sure i had tested that. i hope i can test this again later when i 
finished all the other changes

this will work without problems now with the new centralized pma_db

because of the fpdf library that is used there as told in the documentation. 
could you enable this library to use other charsets?

;-) rabus allready said this, please feel free to change the color and commit

it is?  oops, mea culpa.. hmm don't have an immediate idea why this should 
happen...

well i want to do this for 2.3.0 allthough time is running out - as mentioned 
before i will be in malta diving for one week starting tomorrow, and i still 
have to work in a bar tonight. so in a few hours i will have to stop. if i 
cannot make it until then, you want to release on the 18th as planned and 
nobody else finds the time to add this to tbl_relation (to enter comments) 
and tbl_printview (to show them) just remove this

me too, but i don't want to have more than one link per table on the left side 
- i have databases with about 30 tables and i want to have them all on one 
side.

but we could have a vote of wether it is more practical to get to structure or 
to get to sql page
