printable pdf api doc

This is an awesome idea! I know Garhard Killesreiter wrote a module once which converts nodes -> pdf..

Garhard, is this still possible?

I'd love to be able to download a copy of the User's manual in PDF, take it to Kinkos, print out a bunch of copies, and give them to my users.

Is there a PDF that I'm missing somewhere?

The API doc is 8000+ pages in PDF format. Broken down to a single version and dumping a lot of redundant material still gave 4500+ pages. The only way I could think of to work around this complexity is to do a limited doc per module. The problem with this is that the interlinking of PHP elements gets broken and so the docs aren't as useful.

I also printed out 150 pages of what I though was important to know. It does not read quite right because there are so many sub elements involved. The only comprehensible parts were the texts explaining how things worked. I am trying to produce more items like this http://www.hivemindz.com/hm/images/node_mechanism.gif which give a quick learning of how things work.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but, for the benefit of googlers and for anyone looking for a PDF version of the main Drupal 7 API component documentation, you can find it here:

cheers!

when log in the drupal site,
you will get the "Printer-friendly version" link
at the bottom of the doc page.

Click this link then you will get a long one-page of doc.

From the browser,
click file -> print and select "Adobe PDF" driver
then you will get the pdf file as an output.

For the adobe pdf driver for windows, see the following:
