## How to generate the book?

Run `./generate.sh`. You will need `pdftk`, and `wget` installed. Alternatively, you can run it using Docker:grinning:

### Docker

```
docker run --detach --name security-engineering-ebook captn3m0/security-engineering-ebook
7553d55547603b0e3d47332f4cd55a126ace10e0e965547b0fae06e3c7b16229

docker logs security-engineering-ebook -f
Starting PDF download
All PDFs downloaded
PDF files combined
Bookmarks attached to PDF
PDF File generated: security-engineering-3rd-edition.pdf

docker cp security-engineering-ebook:/security-engineering-ebook/security-engineering-3rd-edition.pdf .
```

Once the script finishes running, check the `security-engineering-3rd-edition.pdf` file.

### More Options?

You can run with the following 2 options:

`--generate-metadata`

To generate the meta.txt file which contains the list of bookmarks to be inserted. This is required if you make changes to the file lists.
This also requires `qpdf` to be installed.

`--download-cover-image`

Download the cover image. The repo already has a `cover.pdf` file which is used by default. This option will download the cover image and convert
it to `pdf` yet again. Do this if the cover URL changes. Requires `imagemagick` to be installed.
