Re: PDF version of the GWT Developer Guide -- any time soon?
interesting idea, but i would point this issue to the google code or to the google docs team, because gwt is only using this system.

Re: PDF version of the GWT Developer Guide -- any time soon?
Yeah it is too bad it's not accessible offline. Just noticed it also doesn't work to view the pages to cache the app, going offline, and re- viewing -- guess it's trying to pull data off the server. Think you're stuck until an offline version of some sort is provided... On Mar 18, 2:10 am, Peter Ondruška peter.ondru...@gmail.com wrote: Nice, but not downloadable for offline access.

Re: PDF version of the GWT Developer Guide -- any time soon?
I seem to remember somebody from google mentioning in this forum about the doc reader being added Gears support (for off-line access), but couldn't find it... sure would be nice to have a PDF version as well though.
