# Download PDF

The entire GitBook — every chapter, every use-case guide, every schema overview — is also published as a single printable PDF.

## What's in it

Built from the same source as this GitBook, in the same order as the left-hand navigation: Home, Glossary, FAQ, What IES Provides (Register → Discover → Exchange → Verifiable Credentials → Schemas Overview), How you implement IES, Use Case Overviews, Use Case Implementation Guides, and Contributors — followed by an **Appendix — Schemas Reference** at the end, covering the field reference for every schema family.

The appendix is placed last and behind a clear divider chapter on purpose: the document is long, and the schema field-reference tables are lookup material, not narrative reading. Putting them at the end keeps the front of the PDF a clean, linear read, while still shipping the complete schema reference inside the same file.

## How it's kept current

Pull requests build and verify a staged PDF and public-site preview through [`build-pdf.yml`](https://github.com/India-Energy-Stack/ies-accelerator/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-pdf.yml). After an accepted change lands on `main`, the separate main-only [`publish-pages.yml`](https://github.com/India-Energy-Stack/ies-accelerator/blob/main/.github/workflows/publish-pages.yml) workflow rebuilds the same source, repeats the publication checks, and deploys the verified PDF and public files to GitHub Pages. GitBook and the PDF are sourced from the repository, but each hosted surface still requires its own post-publication verification.

## Building it yourself

The same PDF can be built locally from a clone of the [ies-accelerator repository](https://github.com/India-Energy-Stack/ies-accelerator):

```bash
brew install pandoc tectonic          # macOS; see the workflow file for Linux packages
npx -y @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli --version   # confirms mmdc is available for diagrams
bash scripts/build_pdf.sh
```

This produces `build/ies_accelerator.pdf` — the document the GitHub Actions preview validates and the main-only publication workflow deploys as [`ies-report.pdf`](https://india-energy-stack.github.io/ies-accelerator/ies-report.pdf).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://india-energy-stack.gitbook.io/docs/download-pdf.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
