This repository explains how to automate the process of converting LaTeX documents to [PDF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format)s or [DjVu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu)-Files. You need no special software, everything gets done online.  

Dealing with TeX + PDF on GitHub (or other online repository hosting services) leads mostly to various problems, e.g.:

* having *large* binary files in a git repo (PDFs)

* having old files, large gap between source and PDF

* need of a local tex installation to update the PDF

the alternative is to only publish the LaTeX source, which has other problems:

* no preview on GitHub

* no preview after download

* no way to see the completed document on devices without TeX (e.g. mobile)

and what is the solution?

* building the binary files ([PDF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format) + [DjVu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu)) on a Server

* save the files on publicly accessible servers (e.g. as [GitHub Release](https://help.github.com/articles/about-releases/))
