Hi All,

I hope you are all good!

I was wondering if there is a pdf version of the OCDS documentation
somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tinto, 

Unfortunately, the OCDS documentation is not currently available in pdf. It is searchable and is available in English, French & Spanish at standard.open-contracting.org

Best,

Lindsey

Hey,

Usually what I do is:
  • generate a sitemap
  • run chrome in headless mode, give it the list of urls from the sitemap and make chrome print the pdfs for me
  • merge the files (on OS X you can use automator UI or automator's command line interface )
I find this better than generating documentation from markdown, because end users might  find it un-pleasant without the theme, nice formatting etc.

I attached the documentation for you.

This is the script to run chrome + print  (sorry I am too lazy to create a gist)

#!/bin/bash
input="test.txt"
COUNTER=0
 
while IFS= read -r var
do

  COUNTER=$(expr $COUNTER + 1 ) 
  /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --kiosk --headless --print-to-pdf="$COUNTER.pdf" "$var"

done < "$input"

and this is the command line interface to merge all files, it will do so with the order of the counter variable

 "/System/Library/Automator/Combine PDF Pages.action/Contents/Resources/join.py" -o PATH/TO/YOUR/MERGED/FILE.pdf  /PATH/TO/A/WHOLE/DIR/*.pdf


I hope this was helpful :)

Best,
Mireille

Here's the OCDS docs all in one HTML file http://standard.open-contracting.org/1.1-dev-singlehtml/singlehtml/en/
You should be able to print that to a PDF file in your browser of choice.
The disadvantage of this approach is that the seperation between pages isn't so obvious.
