DocToPdf

GEM to export rdoc in a pdf file using wkhtmltopdf libary

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'doc_to_pdf'

if you like it works only in your dev env, include in your dev group in Gemfile:

group :development do
   gem 'doc_to_pdf'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install doc_to_pdf

First create rdoc documetation with rdoc as you actually do:

#all your app
rdoc

#only app/ folder
rake doc:app

The gem include a rake task under doc namespace

rake doc:pdf

If you like to change the default name "doc.pdf" call the programm with file param:

$ rake doc:pdf file=myNewFile
Loading pages (1/5)
Resolving links (2/5)
Counting pages (3/5)
Printing pages (5/5)
Done

In my case the menu based in the left is more than 4 pages, and the links doesn't work.

Also it offer an option to clean the "innecessary" html, only pass the param clean=true (default is false)

$ rake doc:pdf clean=true
clean html, this could take a while.
Loading pages (1/5)
Resolving links (2/5)
Counting pages (3/5)
Printing pages (5/5)
Done

WARNING: This option change your html files

Now it looks cleanner :D

The pdf file is saved in your application root

All the pages include the number of the page, the format is page/total i.e (12/100)
