Posted over 3 years ago by jwage

Today we have some great news! Thanks to Fabien from the symfony project, we now have a new way to generate the PDF version of our documentation. The new PDFs are a MAJOR step up from the previous style of PDF and am very pleased with it! Check it out by viewing the 1.0 version of The Guide to Doctrine for PHP or The Doctrine Cookbook.

What is next?

  • API Documentation available as PDF.
  • Downloadable package/zip file containing PDF versions of all documentation.
  • User submitted articles, snippets, tutorials, etc. to complement the official documentation.
  • ...Printed book.

Printed Book

Here is a teaser of the first draft of the front cover for the printed version of the book. Big thanks goes out to Jason O'Brien from centre{source} for doing the design work. The printed copy will be available on lulu very soon we just need to do some more proof reading and Q&A on everything before it is ready. The printed version of the book will use a slightly modified version of the PDF that is available for download on the web.

Copy/Paste code Posted by J. Philip about over 3 years ago.

Thank you Jon, this is much better. Now when I copy/paste blocks of code, most of it is good except the indentation which is not translated into the pasted block. I don't know if it is from my PDF reader settings or anything you can fix in PDF generation.

Book! Posted by Theo Chakkapark about over 3 years ago.

I can't wait for the book to come out. I will definitely buy! Congrats and thank you for the work you've all put into Doctrine.

PDF empty Posted by Guglielmo about over 2 years ago.

Hi! It looks like the PDF is empty! That happens in all versions of the Manual, not in the Cookbook and other stuff.

blank Posted by Tim about about 1 year ago.

Yeah, the pdf was blank for me too
