I just tried a couple of times to download it from http://synopse.info/files/pdf/Synopse%2 … 201.18.pdf and I got a 10,8 Mb corrupted file.
The last one I dowloaded correctly was on 7/4/2015 and was created on 6/4/2015 (13,8 Mb).

I just generated it again.

But sounds like if Word is not able to handle all the bookmarks now...
They disappeared in the resulting pdf!

So the web documentation may be preferred in the mean while.
I may put the API outside of this pdf document, to let Word breeze...

Buggy Micro$oft tools!

Do you know FreeOffice (http://www.freeoffice.com)?
FreeOffice is free for home and business use. It can create large PDF documents without problems.
SoftMaker has a wonderful Office-Suite. In my experience it is the best alternative to Microsoft Office.

I downloaded and tried FreeOffice.

The result is not good, when importing our .rtf generated pdf:
- Links are broken;
- Vectorial drawings are written as bitmap, in very poor quality;
- Document is 30% bigger (33 MB for a .rtf of 10 MB);
- Partial line feeds in the document (\line, i.e. shift+enter) are not handled as expected;
- Generates 2120 pages for the SAD pdf;
- As slow as Word (but with a progression bar).

So, sadly, FreeOffice is not an option in our case.

Neither pdfcreator nor any other pdf printer software did the work as expected, especially for the bookmarks.

PDF Toolkit can be a option.

I have tested some RTF2PDF converter. With my test document this online converter (https://online2pdf.com/fr/) has shown the best results. But I do not know if it meets your needs.

Re: Synopse mORMot Framework SAD 1.18.pdf is corrupted

I just tried with online2pdf.com and the engine did successully converting the rtf file!
After 10 minutes, the web site returned a pdf file with the expected content.
The bookmarks were there!
But.... the internal links with page numbers were all rendered as 'page 1'....

Up to now, it was a good solution, but not better than Word itself yet.
Thomas just answered to my comment...

Thanks for pointing this out.
