Does ConTEXt manual also exist in a printer-friendly layout ?

Does ConTEXt manual also exist in a printer-friendly layout ?

[Julien Rouiller]

Hi,

I'm new to ConTEXt.

I downloaded the misc documents and start reading the manual.

After having read about 50 pages, I find all this very interesting,
but is there a more printer-friendly version of the manual ?

The screen-oriented layout of the documents is nice to show what
ConTEXt can do, but my eyes soon get tired when reading long documents
on a screen. I also don't need the navigation links when printing the
manual.

Thanks.

Julien

Re: Does ConTEXt manual also exist in a printer-friendly layout ?

[Julien Rouiller]

Hi,

Thanks for your answer Luigi. I know that PDF are printable, but the
main manual (cont-eni.pdf in English) has much redundant information
for printing, like all the navigation links. I would like saving paper
with a layout better adapter for printing.
With only the text of the chapters that displays on the left side and
if possible in portrait-oriented A4 format.

Is there some way keeping only the main text and reshaping the paper
with Ghostscript/GSView, Scribus or such tools ?

Was this job already done by some user ?

Thanks.

Julien

Screen Version = cont-eni.pdf
Print Version = cont-enp.pdf

I had missed. That's right cont-enp.pdf is the manual for printing.
