POD documentation in PDF format

Hello, fellow perl programmers!

Sometimes people ask for Perl documentation to be in one big PDF file, for miscellaneous reasons.

Because of this I created a project on sourceforge.net to make those publicly available

So, you are very welcome to visit that site and obtain such files.

Any comments and wishes are greatly accepted.

Warmest wishes,
Vadim.

I'm curious to what degree is your process automated? Not only the preparation of the PDF files themselves, but also the detection of updates/changes in the docs? Matt	[reply]

automated detection equals to zero. (not a goal of a project) but what we can say about updates/changes of docs? I see them everyday in perl5-porters@perl.org and sometimes (quite rarely) propose some changes by myself (will spot exact places if you're interested in this). But. I suppose to have xxx.pdf file for a particular release, not just abstract documentation snapshot.	[reply]

about automation in other areas that I've forgot to mention in my previous reply: there are files located as "src" release which contain 'full' automation: single run of a script allows you to generate desired file without manual post-editing and almost get a final result to you (-almost- because of a step of distillation, i.e. PS==>PDF conversion) Vadim.
