Generating a PDF

[Jan Nielsen <jn...@sct.com>]

Newbie question...how do I generate a PDF from an xdoc which is not part 
of my "site" documentation, i.e., neither part of navigation.xml nor 
referenced from navigation.xml?

I would like to generate a document similar in form to the output of the 
"maven pdf" goal (which generates a PDF of all the xdoc documentation in 
my "xdocs" directory) except the content of my PDF should be restricted 
to the content of a single xdoc file. I could define a completely new 
project for just this document, but that seems a little silly...there 
must be a better way, right? Can I create my own goal in my maven.xml 
file and invoke the pdf goal in some clever way to produce the document?


Thanks,

Jan

If you use the cvs version of pdf plugin, you can do it. But not for
previous versions.

You must redefine maven.pdf.navigationFile property with a new navigation
file (like navigation-pdf.xml) that you put in your wdoc directory.
With this mechanism, you can structure your summary as you want.

I'll release pdf plugin today.
