Ubuntu 16.04.3 (Local Install)

$wgElectronPdfServiceRESTbaseURL = "http://HOSTFQDN:3000/pdf?accessKey=secret&url=http://HOSTFQDN/wiki/";

Usage

 * Once the extension is installed, the “” link in the MediaWiki sidebar will lead you to a new selection screen.
 * On the selection screen you can then choose whether you want to render your PDF using Electron (“Single Column”) or using the old OCG/LaTeX renderer (“Two Column”).
 * After you've chosen the desired rendering method, click the “” button to get the PDF.
 * Note: if there is no alternative rendering method available on the Wiki, “” will immediately serve you the Electron rendered PDF without showing a selection screen.
