Hi All,

I’ve been struggling with tech support at O’Reilly Safari Online in  
getting  
a good PDF of The Ruby Way 2nd edition via the Rough Cuts program.

My generated PDF of the book doesn’t have any navigation structure for  
the  
chapters - no table of contents (at all, not just in the bookmarks  
handling)  
as well as no index.

Is anyone else having issues with PDFs generated through Safari and the  
Rough Cuts program?

I had similar problems with the Ruby Cookbook which were only resolved  
by  
tech support giving me a copy they had rather than through the Safari  
generation process.

I am trying to determine if this is a general problem they are having or  
something specific to my account or browser use.

I don’t think it is my PDF reader as I have lots of PDF based books such  
as  
those from the Pragmatic guys that work just fine.

Thanks, Rod.

Agreed Rod,

PDF generated version at Safari sucks. Forget abt navigation  
structure, half the space is filled by blanks lines. May be Hal could  
drop a mail to them.
