Save PRBook as PDF file

Hi,

        i create small book based on PRBookDistribution.

       
        Now i have 2 question:

       
        A)  How i can save it in PDF format ?


        B) After create and update the pages with the Pier editor ( Login and edit the structures )  i can save the change to the original methods ?
       
                This for save and generate a new structure ( in other image )  update with the last change.


        The same question is relative to save the note add by user.

        Thank for any consideration,


                Dario

There is a view for that, it requires that you have OSProcess, LaTeX,
etc. properly setup on your machine though. For the Seaside book we
have a cron-job that nightly downloads the LaTeX source and builds a
fresh PDF.

No, this is not implemented.

What kind of error?

I don't know, but I think the Pharo book
<http://book.pharo-project.org/> is hosted on GemStone.

Between two Pharo images you can use:

Between Pharo and GemStone I don't know. Maybe with SIXX? Anybody has
experience on this?

#lf is a method present in WriteStream of my Pharo image. Looks like
this method is not present in pre 1.1 images, so you might need to add
it or update your image.
