Hi all,

I was just wondering if there is a printable/pdf/doc/single page version of the SDK documentation?

Regards,

the documents folder in the sdk zip has all the information in pdf, but it's hundreds of pages and not necessarily up to date compared to the online stuff. plus the online stuff is searchable.

PDFs are searchable too.

Chrome can print straight to pdf, or you can install a pdf print driver, such as pdfcreator. It's a bit of work though, because the Component Reference section is broken up into many subsections.

Roku could potentially enable pdf export in the wiki software they use: https://confluence.atlassian.com/displa ... umentation
I don't know if there'd be legal, technical, or policy reasons that would prevent them from enabling this. On the other hand, I was one of the users asking for a wiki when the docs were only provided in pdf form, so I personally can't really be too upset at them for no longer providing the pdfs :). I like being able to link to the online docs here in the forums, which is something the pdfs don't allow for, and am rarely without online access when I would need them. I realize not everyone has always-available internet, so that's one good reason to keep a pdf version of the docs up to date.

not after you print them.


well they still are, but it's a lot slower.

We've just enabled export to PDF for the SDK documentation:

http://sdkdocs.roku.com/spaces/viewspacesummary.action?key=sdkdoc

From that page you can now export the complete documentation.
