How to generate the book?

Run ./generate.sh. You will need pdftk, and wget installed.

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.
