[Gvsig_english] gvSIG user manual, a few remarks

[Mario Carrera]

Hi Simon,

to create the pdf file, we saved the manual to html from the website, 
and then we inserted it as a file in a template (an odt file). It 
exports the html and a folder with all the images. Then, from OpenOffice 
we export it to pdf.

What program do you use for it?

Best regards,
     Mario
