# security-engineering-3rd-edition-ebook

This is just the script to generate a combined PDF from the currently-online-chapters available for review.
The script also takes care of putting in the right bookmarks for all the chapters in the generated PDF file.
Go read the book from the source at <https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html>
## 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.
