I've created a new PDF snapshot of the D Specification (as of DMD 0.109). It weighs in at 1.69 MB. I've posted it at two locations: D Lab and Wiki4D. It's not perfect by any means, but my main concern with it is that some of the hyperlinks may not work. *D Lab* http://groups.yahoo.com/group/d_lab Free membership required to download files Files > documentation > DMD 0.109 > spec_DMD_0.109.pdf http://groups.yahoo.com/group/d_lab/files/documentation/DMD%200.109/ *Wiki4D* http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageSpecification http://www.prowiki.org/upload/duser/spec_DMD_0.109.pdf -- Justin (a/k/a jcc7) http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/

(or maybe OpenOffice can't create compressed PDF files, or something ?) The main problem with the "specification" is that it's a website, and not really a stand-alone document ? I tried using the "book" conversion, but it needs some editing before that will work OK... The old PDF (intro.pdf) has a much nicer layout, but requires work to keep up-to-date and an outdated specification isn't much use ? The automated version (above) can be kept automatically updated. --anders

I'm sure the images don't help. Maybe I'll try leaving the Links page off and see what size it is. At least the "Bookmarks" tab is created when I'm using the development version (1.9.65) of OOo.I've created a new PDF snapshot of the D Specification (as of DMD 0.109). It weighs in at 1.69 MB.

Oh, well, I'll try to remember that if I do this again.The old PDF (intro.pdf) has a much nicer layout, but requires work to keep up-to-date and an outdated specification isn't much use ? The automated version (above) can be kept automatically updated.Right. Due to the automated way that I produced this version, I can produce an updated version fairly easily.--anders-- Justin (a/k/a jcc7) http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/
