Обсуждение: PDF Documentation for 8.3?
Hello,
I am using Debian GNU/Linux Etch with PostgreSQL 8.1.11 and since the
next release of Debian will use 8.3 I am searching for documentation
which can be print out...
Ma last Printed version was "Practical PostgreSQL" from O'Reilly which
cover only 7.4.
I was searching the site but there are no PDF's for 8.3 in format A4 or
do I missing something?
Note: The american "Letter" format sucks, because I am printing
two A4 pages on ONE A4 side and with the "Letter" format
I get very huge borders...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

A cursory inspection suggests that the A4 document at least has larger pages and less of them ... Kevin

NOthing bad, except that a number of tables are actually unreadable and some code example lines are going past the right margin. Apart of this, I would say it's great documentation.

I find the psnup command (part of psutils) useful here, I tend to use: pdftops file.pdf - | psnup -2 -b-20 -m20 > file.ps To print two pages per side and expand them so there's less wasted space; the 20 is the size of the border. I had a good look for tools that would run through the document to automatically find the real paper size and scale it appropriately, but couldn't find anything maybe a year ago. If anyone knows of anything like this I'd be glad to know! Sam

Hmm, it works splendidly here (Chapel Hill, NC). I wonder if it's too large for your particular network setup? It's more than 16 MB. Do you have another network connection you could try? You also might try getting it in chunks. I've found the 'wget -c <url>' (or curl --continue) paradigm invaluable for downloading large files over slow, inconsistent, or otherwise flaky networks. Kevin
