I try to write a python script convert the local html files to a single pdf. Here is the result
https://k00.fr/xucgr0j9It's a start, but there a a lot of things to optimize, before it's usable:
- Support for nested lists
- Support for italic font
- Scaling of Images and Position in the pdf (detect css class names of figures for position)
- Table overflow from pages and design
- Better design of all elements
- Ignore pages like "License term"
-
@freggern The PDF export looks good. I wonder if there is a PDF generator tool from markdown / css / html template
The documentation pages are generated with hugo. -
If i could i would give a +110 for that Idea.
That the VectorStyler documentation
may also be available as a PDF file for offline reading.
This has been a big wish of mine for a while. -
I updated the manual pdf (see link above).
- Design optimization: titlepage, font, quote-element...
- Support for nested elements, like lists, figures
- Support for numeric list / italic font
- Images scaling optimization
- Table overflow optimization
- Smaller bugs
@vectoradmin There are some tools out there. But I only found tools for single page files.

Super !!! Big Thanks.
I really appreciate it. -
Took a look at the updated PDF manual.
I am very impressed. Very well done! -
Thanks, will have a good read.
-
@freggern Thank You for making this!

@freggern Thanks for doing this and for keeping it updated as we go along.
If I see an error or misspelling in the documentation, should I be alerting both you and @vectoradmin ?🍎 macOS Tahoe 26.2, Mac mini (M1, 2020), Chip Apple M1, Memory 16 GB

It depends on where the error or misspelling can be found. I only need to know when it happens only in the pdf file. I can do nothing when the misspelling is on the documentation website. I generate the pdf file in 3 steps that I trigger: Crawl the website, generate a latex file with python out of the website files and then generate the pdf file from the latex file. I don't plan to manually fix misspelling or errors that can be found in the website files. I can only fix "errors" that happend in the process of generating the pdf file.
Like for example on my todo list:- & like Canvas & Artboard doesn't show as Canvas & Artboard
- Color Palette Bar has some not correct rendered images
- SVG EFFECTS - Diffuse Light has some not correct rendered images
- Better floating positioning for images
- Support for intern links in the pdf
-
@Boldline Let me know if there are spelling errors in the documentation.
You can also post it here. -
@vectoradmin no problem - minor one in the "shape paint" section.
"Original"
-
@vectoradmin There is a wrong link on the page https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/repeater/ unter the overview headline
- "Not Found" (404) at link https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/repeater/geometry/ (from https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/repeater/) => correct link is/repeater/geometries/
-
@freggern Should be fixed now!
-
New update of the manual (https://k00.fr/xucgr0j9)
- Support for internal links (When you click on a link to another chapter, it jumps to the correct chapter of the PDF)
- & display now correct as &
- Fix rendering of images as part of an HTML p element
Included changes of the HTML pages (thx @vectoradmin)
- Added! What is new in VectorStyler 1.1
- Correct an internal link
-
@freggern Love that you've taken on the task to do this - thanks! It keeps getting better all the time
-
@freggern
i am also really gratefully for your work -
@vectorstyler @freggern should we move the PDF file of the documentation over to a pinned thread in the general discussion? This way it's easy to find each time @freggern updates it? Right now it's within an random question and would be harder to go back and find later on.
-
@Boldline A pinned thread in "Tutorials" or "General Discussion" will do.
