Paper Backup (aka printer/PDF output) #3277

I like this idea only because it is the most flexible way to approach paper backups. Let the PDF viewer / browser handle the actual printing operation. I assume you are going to establish some sort of HTML template located in the share folder. |

The current implementation doesn't use a template but hard-codes everything, including the style sheet. Using something in the share folder is a good idea, especially for the CSS. |

* Add demo kdbx file (password is `secret`) The demo.kdbx password safe contains a number of realistically looking but imaginary accounts for popular web services (Amazon, eBay, Google, etc.) The owner's name is supposed to be John Doe, his e-mail address is john.doe@example.com. The intended use of this file is: * To try out features (like the upcoming Paper Backup, #3277) without using one's own database. * To have a more-or-less realistic database file. The other kdbx files in the tests/data directory all have some peculiarity or another. * To have a password database from which one can take screenshots in order to demonstrate bugs or new features. So, the recommendation "don't include screen shots of your database" can be changed to "include screen shots of the demo database". * To have something you can mess around with without being afraid to mess up your own database. If you mess up too bad, use git to revert your changes. The location of the demo database is `tests/data/demo.kdbx`. The password is `secret`. So far, the demo database is in the source tree only, to be used by developers. Someone else may decide whether it could be placed in the distribution, or maybe even made available for download from the KeePassXC web site so that new users have something to play around with. * Add more sophistication to the demo database Add a second group that contais more sophisticated items: Attachments, attributes, notes, expiration. Note that the "ssh key" is completely imaginary and cannot be used for anything realistic. For example, the public and private keys don't fit together, the pass phrase and finger print don't match, etc. It's just for demo purposes, like anything in this file.

Why provide PDF output, but no provision to open/print it. |

Summary
Provide a print/PDF output feature to "back up the password database to paper".
Desired Behavior
Get as much information as possible on as few printed pages as possible. The Paper Backup should contain all information (attributes, annnotions, notes, etc.) in clear text, so that it can be used instead of the KeePass database if necessary.
Possible Solution
Implementing printer output is difficult. My idea to get started is to implement something like "Export to HTML file" which creates a single HTML file (with embedded CSS) that users can display and print using their browser. Direct printer output can be added later.
The existing "Export to CSV file" feature could be used as a starting point.
Context
I'm in the process of migrating from 1Password to KeePassXC, and printer output is the one feature I'm really missing. I used to back up my password database to paper once in a while, and store it in a safe place together with other confidential and important documents, to prepare for complete loss of IT infrastructure or other catastrophic situations (including death in which case my family will have to access my online accounts without knowing how to locate or open my kdbx file).
