How to export the documentation of those *.sab files?

[muyinliu]

There are many documents in og2/sys.sct/, how to export/convert them to PDF or just plain text?

Note: I know *.sab(Sage Binary) files can be opened in Concordia and edit.

Load System (a system) Concordia

then use F1-w to switch to Symbolics Concordia. It's base on Zmacs so can use C-x C-f to open those *.sab files.

You can use the Hardcopy function from within the Documentation Examiner to output postscript files into a directory on the host.

Set up a printer object (Edit Namespace Object Printer printer_name) with Type LGP2.
Create Namespace Object printer_name

Edit the Genera-vlm host object:
Edit Namespace Object Host Genera-vlm

Add the printer you added to Spooled Printers, and then set the Home Directory to a path on the host (GENERA-VLM:/home/user/printer) and then set Spooled Via: to Ascii-file, and the File Name to something like GENERA-VLM:/home/user/printer/hardcopy.ps.

Unfortunately by default it prints pages in reverse. Looking into finding a way to change that.

Thanks. Could you please write down the commands to make it?

[muyinliu]

Sorry. It's still difficult to understand. A screen capture video would be great.

I'll see what I can do. It would help to know where you are encountering difficulty.

I have cups-pdf installed but still don't know how to link OpenGenera to printer PDF, Genera said that could not find printer named PDF, any suggestion?

The method I described only creates a postscript file on the host machine (in the directory /home/user/printer), you would need to use a command such as ps2pdf from ghostscript on that file to get a pdf.

I see you use "genera-host" in your setup. In that case chance any instance of "GENERA-VLM" to "genera-host".

[muyinliu]

I did it, finally. Thank you. I will make a doc for this.

[muyinliu]

It's not about cups-pdf at all.

@disillusionment With pdftk <input_file>.pdf cat end-1 output <output_file>.pdf can easily reverse pages.
