I'm working on a PDF form of the manual. Compared to the postscript form of the manual, this form will have the advantage of being navigable and the disadvantage of having worse figure placement (and adjacent paragraph spacing).
<p> I'm sure things will improve as <tt>pdftex</tt> improves, though, so this is worth doing.
<p> Eventually I'll use the <tt>gri/doc/Makefile</tt> to do this work, but for now what I did was to manually <tt>convert</tt> the .ps and .png files into .pdf files. Then, in gri/doc I ran <tt>pdftex gri.texi</tt>. This required first editing <tt>/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/texinfo/pdftexinfo.tex:5484</tt> to read
<tt> \centerline{\pdfimage {#1.pdf}}%</tt> (i.e. to put braces around the argument to the pdfimage command). With this change, it works.
<p> The gri.pdf file is about 1/3 the size of the .ps file. And it's navigable!
<p> More later, as I do further work on this.
