This (http://fivefilters.org/pdf-newspaper/) is an open source PHP application which can convert any RSS feed into a PDF newspaper.
It works flawless with fetching only the text & ,currently, has a partial support for images.The application uses other open source codes like:
· TCPDF (http://www.tcpdf.org/)
· HTML Tidy (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/)
· SimplePie (http://simplepie.org/)
· HTML Purifier (http://htmlpurifier.org/)
· SmartyPants (http://michelf.com/projects/php-smartypants/)
· OPML Parser (http://freshmeat.net/projects/opml-parser-class/)
If a feed shares a part of the original content, the application has an option to fetch the complete content as well.
Although the application may not seem interesting for many developers at first, the code & the function itself is an inspiration+resource for offering more out of feeds.
