Required PDF for STEP Modules Ballot

[David Price]

WG10 and QC,

As you hopefully are aware, an SC4 resolution was passed that allows the
suite of STEP application modules currently being developed in HTML to go
out for ballot as a web site rather than as paper.  That resolution said
that the documents going out for ballot in HTML must also be accompanied by
a printable version (i.e. a PDF) so that people can review the documents on
airplanes, etc.  As you might surmise, generating PDF from a linked set of
web pages is not simple and so concerns have arisen as to how to do this
and what the requirements on the PDF might be.  The modules developers are
working on this and need our help.

Attached is a PDF generated from one module that will go out for ballot in
a few weeks.  The modules developers are asking what changes are required
by SC4 in order for this to meet the requirements for "a printable version"
of the module. I'll warn you that it is ugly compared to a traditional ISO
ballot document but please remember that the only purpose is to allow
offline technical review of portions of a web site of modules.  Also, there
are some format issues (e.g. the bulleted list of normative references and
introductory text needed for some subclauses) that have already been
raised.

Comment please!
Thanks,
David
