hi all,
earlier releases of GeoServer included a PDF version of the User
Manual. however, after 2.4.6 this doesn't seem to be the case any
more.
is there an easy way to generate such a document?

They are still available. See (for example):

thanks Brad. unless i missed the obvious, it may be useful to link to
it from the the <http://geoserver.org/release/maintain/> page.

docs.geoserver.org is usually a good option - better handled by search
engines than PDF, and available as a HTML zipfile if needed.

I see Brad has already responded, I am curious as to the continued value of the PDF manual? What do you like about it or find it useful for?
Personally I find that some of the wider code examples can get cut-off in the PDF output.

it's useful for inclusion in the documentation of a distribution
that contains a GeoServer.

cut-off in the PDF output.--

Hi Jody,
looks like you removed the PDF link one year ago from all release
templates, e.g.:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.github.io/blame/master/_layouts/release_24.html#L110
Back then the PDF was systematically failing to generate, that's why I
guess it was removed.
A couple of months later during the 2.8 beta release process I fixed PDF
generation:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.github.io/blame/master/_layouts/release_24.html#L110
Looking at history the build fixes seems to have been applied 2.8.x
onwards, checked on re-enabling
the links, but the PDF is not being copied to SF ... it seems the release
script just never copied
it over, it was probably a manual step we did not automate?
I've created a ticket, while a blind change could be made, only someone
running a release can actually
test it:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7622
Of course that would only fix new releases, for those that are already out
we'd have to manually copy stuff...
maybe we'll find volounteers with admin access to SF willing to do that,
but I would not hold my breath on it.
Cheers
Andrea

The PDF manual was created in both 2.9.1 and 2.8.5 releases, but copied to SourceForge in neither.
