How to find the PDF version of a Read-the-docs project

For security reasons, many websites do not allow you to browse directory listings on the web server; hence the 403.

Anyway, I guess you were looking for these:

  • https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/cookiecutter/latest/cookiecutter.pdf
  • https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/cookiecutter/stable/cookiecutter.pdf

Typically, it should not be necessary to construct this URL yourself. There is a link in the navigation bar of RtD. You just have to know where to find it.

Notice the 'Read the Docs' label at the bottom left of the page (together with the version indicator). Click it and a panel will open.

In the panel, you can select the desired version. The 'PDF' link navigates to the PDF file. The build system of RtD should automatically keep this file up to date with the documentation source.

Note: PDF generation may not work on some websites that host their own copy of RtD. An example is Haskell Stack; see also this question: how to download the docs as PDF
