[Help-glpk] documentation in PDF format

[Robbie Morrison]

Hello again everyone

This relates mostly to GNU/Linux.

You may be like me and prefer to read and print
software documentation with Adobe 'acroread' (or even
'evince' although this lacks search functionality)
rather than the Gnome PostScript previewer 'ggv'.

On my system, the best way of generating PDFs from the
GLPK docs is as follows (the three calls are required
to fully resolve the cross-referencing):

   $ pdflatex glpk.latex
   $ pdflatex glpk.latex
   $ pdflatex glpk.latex

'pdflatex' produces a seachable and extractable PDF,
whereas methods like 'ps2pdf' do not.

For the record, my copy of 'pdflatex' came via Ubuntu
package 'tetex-bin' (the teTeX binary files) and I used
version "pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
kpathsea version 3.5.4".

As a suggestion, it may be worth considering building
and distributing PDFs with the official tarball.
