How to generate ps from texinfo

abd_bela · 05-01-2005, 06:53 AM

Hi every body,
I've downloaded the linuxcookbook.deb, unfortunatly, it generates html format, I want pdf or ps, so i downloaded the source linuxcookbook-1.2.orig.tar.gz,
there is a directory info which contains cookbook.info*
and other files *.texinfo, and of course images, txt files...

I want to create a ps (or pdf file) , how to do it
thanks a lot

PS: I tried to generates from Html file a pdf with htmldoc, but there are big iamges and tables so it failed

best regards
bela

Run the following from within the above directory

Code:

texi2pdf cookbook.texinfo

If you receive complaints about not being able to find certain image files, you may need to convert them first. For example...

Code:

for f in *.eps; do ps2pdf $f; done

Cheers,
