Background
We need to notify our community that PDFs for books will be unavailable for the short-term directly on the books page. We may do this by either:
- changing the text on the current banner and keeping the banner the same
- visually highlighting the severity of the issue on the banner
Design
On page before Creation has started
On Manage books
Copy
Due to severe issues with our existing system, the Book Creator will no longer support downloading a book as a PDF for a short period of time. We are working hard to replace our system and re-enable PDFs within the Book Creator.
While the Book Creator PDF rendering is being replaced, you can try Download as PDF from the sidebar tools for individual articles
