#48896 [Bgs]: I converted bightml.html from php_manual_en.html.gz to .pdf format

ID: 48896 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: akrivitsky at yahoo dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: FEDORA 11 and all others PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: See also http://news.php.net/php.webmaster/5055 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 03:20:30] danbrown@php.net This is not a bug, and while we appreciate your support of the PHP Project, a PDF manual would need to be generated and regenerated multiple times per day to remain accurate and up-to-date with all of the changes that our Documentation Team commits. As such, a static PDF file of the manual is not a practical option at this time.

Due to the size of bightml.html (which is 35.5 MB) it is too slow to open within any popular browser (FireFox 3.5, Chrome, IE 8 etc), and therefore it is inconvenient for the user. I created pdf version of English bightml.html and I am ready to submit it to this site for user's convenience. A size of pdf version is approximately half of mentioned size of bightml.html and it can be opened in Acrobat reader and Okular much faster than bightml.html can be opened in any popular browser. Also I will be more than happy to create pdf versions of manuals for other languages if you want me to do so. Can please someone send me an url for submission? Thank you very much.
