Hi Bryan
The PDF issue has always been a tricky one. The original idea was to output the
PDFs from the same XML source that is used to generate the HTML, since this
creates a PDF with all the links between section intact, but time is always a
limiting factor, and our PDF expert is very busy these days. We would certainly
be interested in seeing your PDF since we currently do not have any for
download.
A couple of questions would be: What source did you use for the PDF file (i.e.
how did you go about creating it)? How easy is it to adjust the layout if
required? How big are the source file and the PDF file?
Our mailing list does not support attachments, so you can either mail me the
file direct at this address (5mb attachment limit) and I'll pass the file on to
the rest of the members, or if you have any webspace to host the file yourself,
you could upload it there and send just the link to the mailing list.
We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
