[Bf-docboard] How to build pdf file for the manual

[NGE]

Hi, Tobias:


Thank you for your sharing. 
I've built the tex file, and tried to use MiKTeX to convert it into a pdf file. But it failed with a lot of warning and error messages.
I'm not familar with latex, so I can't troubleshoot this. But thank you all the same.

Hi zdy,
     
I think rst2pdf is not needed (if it's not an extension to       directly build pdfs)
       Sphinx builds the RSTs to a single TeX-file,
       You can then convert this file into a PDF with a TeX-distribution       of your choice e.g. MiKTeX.
     
The command as to be "latex" and not "pdf".
       
       Disclaimer: I have only build the tex-file and not the final pdf.

            Dear All:
       
       
       Today, I've tried to build pdf file for the manual:
       
       
       1. I installed rst2pdf;
       2. Then I tried command as below:
       sphinx-build -b pdf -D language=zh-hans manual/ build/zhpdf
       
       
       But it doesn't work. 
       
       
       Anyone has the experience of building pdf file successfully?         Any detailed steps?
       
       
                Best regards
