Well, I just uploaded a new apache-1.3.22-docs-pdf.zip to the dist directory. I created it using Acrobat 4.0 as follows:
1. Checked out the 1.3 docs into a local repository. 2. Copy /dev/null over the header.html and footer.html files in all the directories (to try to reduce the size and length of the final document a little). 3. In acrobat, I used "open web page" and pointed it at the sitemap.html file with the "levels" setting at "2" so that it would grab each link from that page and nothing else. 4. Under "conversion settings" I turned off headers and footers (because they would have pointed to the URL on my local server) and under html settings I changed to all 10pt fonts. In addition, under "page layout" I changed the top and bottom margins to .3" and the left and right margins to .2". This doesn't make for a very nice looking document, but at least I was able to keep it under 500 pages (458 to be exact). 5. Let it run. 6. Extract the sitemap page and then reinsert it after the main documentation page to get things in a better order. 7. I zipped the resulting file. Gzip would be nice, since many browsers would do the decode automatically. But there are lots of screwed up browsers that do the decode but don't remove the .gz extension, resulting in all sorts of confusion. The .zip seems to work fairly well. Rich, please feel to give it a crack with the other tool. If you can come up with something better, I am happy to use it. Any other suggestions or comments are welcome. The whole process (including creation of a sitemap) needs to be repeated for 2.0, but I may leave that for another day.
