We don&#39;t want to provide a PDF just &quot;so that we have a PDF&quot;, so printing a web page to PDF is not really an option.<br>
<br>
If you want to improve your XSLT-FO skills, feel free to write the stylesheets; if you manage to use only the technologies that are already available on our web nodes (nope, we won&#39;t open HTML in OpenOffice, thank you), we can give it a try.<br>

<br>
But there&#39;s no point in generating &quot;a PDF&quot; without all fancy features like a book-like layout, inter-document links etc.<br>
<br>
Why do you *need* the PDF at all?<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>

I was saying to Behzat that, for whatever reason, if he needs a one-off copy of the handbook in PDF, there <i>are</i> a few ways to make it by going off the html version instead of straight from guidexml to pdf.<br>
