Where is a manual - need to print it and have it as PDF

RouterOS General
1

I need to have a printout of the RouterOS manual but doing it via Confluence (i have that crap at work) is just not working and since there is a newer Confluence at Help, I don’t trust the Wiki…
Any trick to make a PDF from ALL the confluence pages? Normally it wont work, but depends on configuration.

… and exporting to PDF directly from Confluence is flawed, just as I suspected.

Word works better though. Then a PDF can be exported from there, using Office 2016 or later.

as you tried the obvious, my next best 2 cents are: …pull it with a site/html scraper and then use other, local tools to create a PDF?

4

Already doing a file from Word exports. No need to rip the site.

Interesting idea!

Well, that’s what you already mentioned above…thought you were looking for another alternative and not trying to make an informative statement, sorry for that.
Please do try and safe the planet (a bit) by not trying to print it, after you’ve finished :wink:

168 pages Word docx file done.
(That’s is not the correct amount of pages, I have skipped the IPV6 section for now and some sub ToC’s present in random places in the text will removed)

To Do

  1. Review.
  2. Make Index
  3. Make PDF

Be sure to keep the pages updated :slight_smile:

It will fail… eventually… but I’ll do what I can from available sources.
