Sample PDF Document
You can download the source code for a PDF document here. You can either
download the files individually:
pdfdoc.tex
pdfdoc.sty
pdfdoc.bib
docinfo.png
docinfo.eps
Makefile
or you can download all files in a tar gzip file: pdfdoc.tar.gz
Notes
This document is designed to create either an A4 document intended for
printing or a 6inx4in document intended for on-line viewing.
A boolean variable, online, was defined to determine which version
to produce, and to save editing the file each time a different version
is required, a file called switch.tex is read in, if it exists.
The Makefile contains the line:
echo "\onlinetrue" > switch.tex
when the 6inx4in version is being created, and the line:
echo "\onlinefalse" > switch.tex
when the A4 version is being created. So, to create the 6inx4in version,
all that is needed is to do:
make pdfdoc-screen.pdf
and to create the A4 version, all that is needed is to do:
make pdfdoc-a4.pdf
This sample document is an old version of the document
Creating a PDF Document using PDFLaTeX. The most
recent version is rather more complicated, as I wanted it to work under both
PDFLaTeX and LaTeX2HTML.
