generating pdf documents

[kay032366]

I am currently working with Doxygen trying to generate pdf documents.  
I have noticed that the sections with in the pdf document follow the
order of the html generated tags.  My html generated tags are in the
order as follows: Main, Modules, Classes, Files, then Related Pages.



What I am trying to figure out is how I could get pages to show up in a
different order.  Specifically what I am trying to do is come up with a
pdf document in the following format:



1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

1.2 Scope …



2 Overview

2.1 etc…



1 is the mainpage. Since I wanted 2 to be an Overview I created another
page using \page under the \mainpage documentation, but it shows up in
the pdf document under the Related Pages information further down.



If you could give me any advice it would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you for your time in advanced.

Hi Kathryn,

I don't know if it would help your specific problem and it would be an
external step (ugh), but the PDF toolkit is a GREAT resource for
manipulating PDFs.

Thank you for the input but we want to incorporate this into an
automated build process.  I am sure there must be a way to reorder the
tabs.  The order I would like is Main Page, Related Pages, Modules,
classes, and the file lists.

Hi Kay.

Doxygen PDFs are generated with LaTeX. The main LaTeX file is
refman.tex. There you can see something like this:

\chapter{Main Page} % starts a new chapter named "Main Page"

\include{foo}   % includes LaTeX code from file "foo.tex"
\input{bar}   % same as \include but without pagebreak


You can rearrange those lines manually as you want.

Note that your changes to "refman.tex" are lost at each new doxygen run.
Also note that the name for some .tex files changes according to the
names of your classes and modules. You'll need to develop an automated
editing solution.

Refer to a LaTeX manual to learn more about the LaTeX sectioning.
I can very much recommend the "The not so Short Introduction to LaTeX"
at http://www.ctan.org/get/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf .

By the way, editing the "refman.tex" you can also insert own handwritten
LaTeX text. Maybe you want your own \chapter{} or \part{} independent
from Doxygen.
