Re: [sqlite] sqlite documents in pdf format
Hi, Just for the benefit of everybody using sqlite3. I made a pdf file for the document on the website (using htmldoc, none relevant pages removed). http://rapidshare.com/files/414401016/sqlite3_doc.pdf BTW, the document on sqlite website seems a little disorganized. From the docs.html file, I can not access all the documents. Maybe the maintainers of the documents can help improved it?

As they say: Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, cite, and share your research sources. It lives right where you do your work—in the web browser itself. I haven't used it myself, but I've heard good things about it.

Re: [sqlite] sqlite documents in pdf format
You can also bookmark html pages. Commenting in CHM files is not supported, but you have the option to save favorite pages in chm files, but only if the chm file was made with this option activated. Well if you still need it in pdf-format, then you need to search for a programm or make it file per file. with best wishes Artur - > > I'm using pdf because I can comment and bookmark it to facilitate my > reading process.

I'm using pdf because I can comment and bookmark it to facilitate my reading process. I'm open to any other options. But it seems that there is no way to comment on chm (Let me know if I'm wrong).

Not really the case. The software that provides documentation in PDF has usually done so because the help is authored in Latex or a very similar format. The GNU standard for documentation (info) was Latex compatible which is why you'll find most GNU tools do have PDF documentation. For Python, documentation is authored using Sphinx (and was historically something similar to Latex). Sphinx has a way of generating Latex output which can then be processed into PDF although it is enough of a pain that most Sphinx projects do not both with PDF. The documentation for SQLite is not authored in a Latex compatible format and so isn't trivial to turn into PDF. You are of course welcome to provide a tool that does the conversion. Instead it targets HTML output like pretty much everyone else out there. You are going to have to get used to this new reality. If you like PDF because it gives you a single self contained file that is searchable and usable offline then I suggest looking into the CHM format. Note you can download the HTML docs for local offline access. You can create a CHM file by creating a small project file and compiling it. There is a CHM compiler for Windows, and you can also do so under Linux (google HHW4Wine). If you want the PDF for printing then that is a really bad idea as the documentation is not authored or intended for dead tree - eg it doesn't have physical pages, and isn't intended to be read with a beginning, middle and end. In HTML format it works with any screen size, big or small. Use your HTML viewer tools to print it as you see fit.

Re: [sqlite] sqlite documents in pdf format
Hi Artur, I could use acrobat to convert the whole website to pdf. Do you know if there is any particular advantage to use PDF Creator, besides the latter is free? Although I could use a software to convert html to pdf, I'd prefer to have a document in pdf directly. As the pdf file converted from html has a lot of shortcomings. It is very common that software provide document in many different format. For example, python, GNU make. If it is possible, I think that it is making sense to generate pdf version document as well.

HI Peng, you could install PDFCreator (http://en.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator) then open the site and print it with PDFCreator. Then you have a pdf-file. with best wishes Artur - > I only find html format document but not pdf format.
