Hi,

I am a relative newbie to the forum and ZF itself. So far i am digging it.

Today I noticed a huge revamp on the ZendFramework site along with all new areas in the documentation section (in terms of the documentation and the format of the docs). This is awesome! I think it will definitely help with the adoption of ZF as a whole.

My question: Is there any chance of releasing the documentation as a PDF?

I don't know if this has already been asked as I tried searching already.

That would be really cool.

Thanks,

rodlabs

Will probably only happen if a community member takes it on. There was some talk about how the docs are generated on the fw-general list and whether or not they would include a CHM version or not.

If there is enough support they said they'd add it, but it was a trade off on how fast/often docs could be re-generated and the overhead it takes to run that process. Converting them to a single PDF would be even more of an overhead, since I belive they are using phpdoc and it supports HTML and CHM - but I don't think it supports PDF (I could be wrong, but I've never used it for that). Also, don't forget, they have to support a dozen or so languages too, which further adds to the complexity.

Post a message on the list and see if anyone at Zend has any more info on this.

I would really appreciate a PDF version of the documentation, too.
I like to read printed docs which I can take everywhere :-)

Thanks a lot,
Philipp

I don't think they have the docs distributed in PDF format. It would be a lot of paper to print out (500+ pages)

Luckily anyone can compile the docs in any format they choose as the manual is written in docbook format, so simply compile it as a pdf.

hi,
yes, you are right, would be a lot of paper, but I didn't intend to print
the whole doc, but only some chapters I'm currently interested in. So
I could study them when I'm away from the computer ;-)

I will check the docbook options soon,
thanks!

I'm quite versed in latex which im sure a lot of you heard of i would like to do it the only problem is by the time i finish there just might appear a new version.
