For now, I have quite a few PDF docs in the PDF directory of the sandbox (the max file size of the vault is too limiting for the larger libs docs).
BTW, if anyone with quickbook/boostbook style docs would like pdf's generated for them, then I can probably generate a few more...
Thanks for the offer, John. Generation of PDF docs on OS X is a disaster in my experience - if you get the chance, I would very much appreciate it if you could generate PDF docs for Boost.Units.
I've added a first cut to the sandbox at pdf/units/release/units (https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/pdf/units/release/units.pdf) using a patched version of your Jamfile (let me know if you want me to commit the attached patch). Things I've noticed: * Links to source files and headers are broken, I think this may be fixable with some more xsl:param's, but haven't looked into it. * Pagination in the reference section looks a little screwy in places: I think this must have something to do with the way the Doxygen generated docs are sectioned, but I'm not sure about this. * The PNG images don't look that good in PDF's, we have the ability to embed SVG's or PDF's (haven't tried the latter though) if you want to improve these: but it would require some editing of the quickbook source. Also if you want the page setup options changed/tweaked let me know as now I've got it working I can regenerate it pretty quickly... John.
