Anyone happen to have a convenient way to save the GitLab Documentation from https://docs.gitlab.com/ to PDF or ODT files? GitLab does not offer any files, just their documentation wiki. We're on GitLab Ultimate (Self Managed), but GitLab Support could not help.
I found a bunch of requests for PDF export in the GitLab project on gitlab.com, both for the GitLab documentation and the GitLab wiki feature in general, but most of them have been sitting for many years.
The wiki looks markdown based, so I had a look at github-wikito-converter but after cloning gitlab-docs I could not immediately figure out where the markdown files and associated content is hiding.
I'm sure we're not the only ones with this requirement and hoping someone has already done this?
Had the same issue and landed here, maybe this helps somebody.
I didn't find a way to embed the .pdf into a page but what I did was to add the .pdf to the wiki folder (like a normal page). Initially this didn't show up in the sidebar nor was it searchable from Github.
It is possible however to link it directly from other pages or a custom sidebar (see for example osquery's wiki for a nice sidebar). Clicking on the link allows you to download the .pdf (didn't find a way to preview it in the browser)
It is possible that such action type is not allowed only in cloud gitlab version, cause gitlab-gollum lib documentation describes it so:
[[Gollum|gollum.pdf]]
i was hoping for something like the python-gitlab pdf file but for the gitlab community edition product.
is there a single pdf file with all the gitlab documentation, yes/no?
I tried google'ing but no luck. so i figured i would ask. if no, it's not too big a deal because i will buy an ebook with a pdf file[1].

Amusing sidenote: I just google'd for "manning books gitlab" and found a bunch of gitlab repos... so apparently Manning also use gitlab.
