[Doxygen-users] Newbie Qs for preparing branded PDF via LaTeX output

[Orly Z. <or...@xs...>]

HI All,
I’m new to Doxygen so these are probably newbie Qs. I did search the archives and could not find answers.
I’m the TW. My engineers have created fine looking HTML pages.
Now we need a PDF – which they also created via LaTeX (generated a workding refman.tex), however, we’d like to brand the PDF with our corporate “look and feel”.

  *   Add the company logo to the header
  *   Add front matter (title page with background image, Disclaimer page, TOC, etc).
  *   Format the Headers and Footers on each page( like we have on our other docs).

I created a dummy LaTeX file (e.g. mycompany.tex) that works fine and prepares a document similar to my other docs vis-a-via its “look and feel”.
This seems to be a fine template.
However, now I’m stuck.
I would like to load a LATEX_HEADER and/or LATEX_EXTRA_STYLE  sheet in order to rebrand refman.tex, via the Doxygen Wizard.
Here are my main Qs:

  1.  What type of file is the LATEX_HEADER? (*.tex or *.cls or *.sty)?
  2.  What part of my dummy file should go in the LATEX_HEADER – I imagine everything before “Document{begin} – but then how do I get my title page included properly?

I’m wondering if the title must be defined via a class file – where do I learn to create one of those?

  1.  When do I need a LATEX_EXTRA_STYLE sheet? (can that be derived from my dummy template?)
  2.  Should I disable the Doxygen.sty? If so, how?

Any other pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Orly Zimmerman
