I vote for #5 It will just keep haunting us in the future. With new problems etc. Its 2013 and people read online docs / google / stackoverflow / watch videos / etc. The camel pdf manual is not a good manual but just a big dump of the web site, thats not readable, and I dont see any people use it. And in the last 2.11.0 release we had the manual 2 times, eg with 2.11.0 and 2.11-SNAPSHOT as version. But nobody noticed during the testing phase etc. Also a little hint that the manual is not really used from our releases.

The main problem is the javascript that is used to format all the {code} and {snippet} macros. The old version of confluence rendered them into static HTML which prince handled fine. The new versions require some javascript to render it. I tried updating the html for the manual to add the javascript into it and pass the --javascript flag to prince. With the 8.1r3 version of prince I had, it would segfault. Updating to 8.1r5 (latest from prince) goes into an infinite loop. Thus, there are a few options: 1) When converting from book-in-one-page.html to the manual.html, we can try and adjust the <script> tags that confluence now generates to convert them to something prince can render. There may be a different javascript based highlighter that prince can handle. Not really sure, would require a bit of investigation and experimentation. 2) Similar to (1), I could try updating the CXF site-exporter to use a different syntax highlighter. I currently just use the same one as confluence to make sure it works. 3) Experiment with different HTML -> PDF renderers. There are several out there, not sure if any of them can handle the javascript any better. 4) Report issues to prince and hope for a new version of prince that can handle it. 5) Drop the PDF manual entirely. We can keep the html manual if we really want it. I did try the Confluence "Export to PDF" option and that didn't render the code blocks either. So no help there. 1-3 would require a bit of work and I really don't want to go down those routes if #5 is the "best" option for us. I don't recommend #4. I'm personally in favor of #5 as I really don't see much "value" in the PDF manual at this point.
