I'd love it if the GWT Developer Guide were also be available in PDF
format.
Here's why:
o It's a fairly long book-like document
o It changes fast enough to make 3rd party books perpetually
obsolete
o Being forced to read long paginated html docs is annoying
o It causes less eye strain to read long documents when they're
printed
I don't see much need to render the javadocs as pdf, just the
Developer Guide.
I filed this bug recently (see below), but then got depressed when I
noticed
all the moribund discussion threads on the same topic (see below).
Even if the current docs do have printer-friendly CSS, printing them
one
page at a time isn't a particularly attractive option. At this
point, I'd even
settle for an ugly but readable "everything one page" version....
I just don't like reading this much book-like content off a screen.
Compounding matters is that if you *do* read the docs online, screen
width issues tend to arise once the fonts are made slightly bigger.
Are there plans to make an up-to-date PDF version?
If that's too hard, what about an easily-printable-all-on-one-html-
page version?
If either of these seem like they might happen sometime soon,
is there any idea when? They'd be greatly appreciated !
Cheers,
-Jon
