I created some PDFs (on request) of the dlang spec mobi-file and uploaded them here:
https://gofile.io/d/ijctZt

Different converters were used, hence multiple files.

Maybe someone can upload a good version on dlang.org and link to it?

Thanks for your effort.

The spec is written in ddoc format, and I thought that ddoc was able to output in PDF (at least at one point). It didn’t look very good and I’m not sure if the functionality is still there. I was only able to find an old initiative [1] and two old threads discussing the idea [2][3]. I didn’t read all that now.

Regarding uploading, the way this usually goes is that you submit a PR against the website. But I’m not sure it will be accepted if the process cannot be automated so that the PDFs stay in sync with any future changes in the spec without manual intervention.

In my opinion the way to produce quality PDF is through LaTeX. Maybe something can be based on adrdox to produce useful LaTeX, that would be an interesting project.

Oh, I see. Yes, the best way would obviously be to generate the most high quality pdf possible, and maybe even version it so you can look at older specs. I just did it quick n dirty 😉

On d-apt <https://d-apt.sourceforge.io/> there are some dlang spec files in chm, epub, mobi and pdf format.

There are also the dmd spec and Phohos library reference, for each release, in html format.

Yeah, saw that after I had uploaded them already 🙄

Do you know how those files are generated and when (on each release)?
