POKY Documentation Conversion Tutorial

This tutorial guides you through the process of converting HTML documentation to a single PDF file using wkhtmltopdf and pdfunite on a system running Ubuntu. This could be particularly useful for consolidating documentation into a single, easily distributable format, with which you can create a POKY-specific ChatGPT 4 model.

Prerequisites

Make sure your system is up-to-date and has the necessary packages installed. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf poppler-utils

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to the Documentation Directory

Change the directory to where your HTML files are located. In this example, we use the POKY documentation directory:

cd /opt/POKY/poky_linux/manual

2. Convert HTML Files to PDF

Use wkhtmltopdf to convert each HTML file in the directory to a PDF. The --enable-local-file-access option allows the tool to access local file resources, such as images and stylesheets:

for file in *.html; do
    wkhtmltopdf --enable-local-file-access "$file" "${file%.html}.pdf"
done

3. Merge PDF Files

Merge all the PDF files you’ve created into a single PDF document named POKY_documentation.pdf:

pdfunite *.pdf POKY_documentation.pdf

4. Load the Documentation

You can find the POKY_documentation.pdf file in the current folder for convenience. Then create a new ChatGPT 4 model by loading the POKY_documentation.pdf file. Hopefuly, the new model will be able to answer to your questions related to POKY’s usage.
