A backend for mdbook written in Python for generating PDF based on Chrome DevTools Protocol.

Python library dependency

Usage

Put mdbook-pdf in PATH. Have google-chrome/chromium available (in PATH or location configured).

Ensure you have installed python selenium library, corresponding chromedriver is in PATH or in the book repo or location configured.

Build it with mdbook build command. Make sure the following exists in your book.toml:

[output.html]

[output.html.print]
enable = true

[output.pdf]

if you are using Windows, Put this script in the book repo, add the following line to [output.pdf] in your book.toml:

command = "python ../../mdbook-pdf"

Configuration

Check book.toml for available configurations of [output.pdf].

Known issue

Sometimes the program may crash with errors like this:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: session deleted because of page crash
from unknown error: cannot determine loading status
from tab crashed

This may be led by resources outrage.

To-do

Rewrite the whole thing in Rust, directly call to Chrome DevTools Protocol instead of using selenium.

    Update mdbook to 0.4.21 and publish to crates.io

    Would it be possible to update mdbook to version 0.4.21 and update the release on crates.io? This version contains a fix for https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues/1860 to enable building using Rust 1.64. In the meantime, I'm creating a patch for this in nixpkgs but would love to be able to pick it up just by updating the version.

    feature request: Generate PDF with page outlines

    I'm not sure what you mean by "outlines"?

    Maybe adding a new keyword in output.html.print, like outline = true/false

    [output.html.print]
enable = true
page-break = true
outline = true # new keyword to include the 'ToC' in pdf print.
