How much time have you got? :) The quickest way I suggest is to do as Cameron says and only print the pages you want. Another option is to use pdftk to cut out pages you do not want electronically and then print the ones that remain. http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ Mind you, either printing, or electronic page removal do not change the page numbers (should you need to have page numbers included), so page numbers are always wrong and so on. Also the title page may not appear they way you want it to. Another option is to convert the txt to docbook and open the docbook XML file in a word processor like OpenOffice. This eases some of the transition pain caused by the other approaches but this solution, too, can be unwieldy in other aspects like why should one need to use a word processor in the first place. A final solution that I can recommend is to convert the txt file to tex (LaTeX) and then apply a style file to get the PDF the way you want it to display. The trouble with this approach is now you are left fiddling with LaTeX and TeX, which can consume copious amounts of your time. A solution that I have not explored is to fiddle around with FOP settings to display the page the way you want to. I am not aware of how to do that so I cannot help you much there, hopefully someone else will be able to fill in those gaps for you. Good Luck, you are going to need it. :) Mark. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
