*Update*: The website currently only has 7 sample chapters since the remaining were removed at the book's publication. The script should automatically start working in May 2024, when these chapters should become available.

This is just the script to generate a combined PDF from the currently-online-chapters that were published for review. The script also takes care of putting in the right bookmarks for all the chapters in the generated PDF file.

The e-book version is available now for $42 from [Wiley](https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Security+Engineering%3A+A+Guide+to+Building+Dependable+Distributed+Systems%2C+3rd+Edition-p-9781119642817) and for $47 from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Security-Engineering-Building-Dependable-Distributed-ebook/dp/B08P69FT4Q).

## How to generate the book?

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

### 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](https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/SEv3-cover.pdf) is used by default. Do this if the cover URL changes. Requires `wget` to be installed.
