PDF docs generation broken when using PDF images

[GrahamDennis]

When building PDF docs that include PDF images, the PDF file that is copied as the docs ends up being one of the included images instead of the generated docs.

This is a problem for the xmds2 project. See http://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/xmds2/latest/xmds2.pdf

This is because sphinx_pdf.py#L45 only check the first match of *.pdf in the build dir.

Hrm, any thoughts on how to solve this sanely? We used to have logic around the pdf filename, but it doesn't hold for all projects.

My understanding of LaTeX was that the pdf was the same name as the .tex file. Can you provide an example of the problems encountered previously?

[ericholscher]

Hrrm. IIRC we were trying to use the slug from the project name. The tex
file might be a better place to grab the name from.

We could probably use a similar regex to grab the correct tex name and
transform that into the PDF.

I also believe the .pdf file has the same name as the .tex file.

The 'latex_documents' attribute in conf.py allows multiple .tex files to be built. To be complete sphinx_pdf.py should probably look for multiple .tex files.

Closing this in deference to the PR.
