Is there a way to download the whole Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga in pdf format?

Well, you can download IB Horner’s translation of the entire Pali Vinaya in PDF from the download page, but I assume that’s not what you want?
Are you looking to download only the Bhikkhu vibhanga, as translated by Ven @Brahmali ? Perhaps Ven @sujato might be able to help?

Yes, as Faujidoc says, there’s currently no way to download individual books as PDFs. We do plan to revisit this next year.

Indeed, our aim is to build a pipeline so that any of the texts in the new “bilara” format, including the translations by myself and Ven Brahmali, will be available as both epub and pdf, and from the pdf, paper books. At the moment we are focussed on getting the pipeline working for the main website, and we are seeing good progress there. Next we’ll attend to the epub and pdf creation.

I was wondering about this and I found that : https://build.readingfaithfully.org/ (instructions) once the text is created, you click copy and paste into an empty file. You name the file Vin.html and then with this site you can convert to Epub format. (you can choose other format) Even the table of content works !

The resulting file in Epub for me :
Vin.epub (783.7 KB)

It is almost perfect. A few tweaks in the HTML file and it would be perfect
Best Wishes !

Edit: I have just tried the PDF 4595 pages…
Vin.pdf (7.1 MB)

Other books from Bhante @sujato:
dhammapada.epub (27.7 KB)
Snp.epub (83.3 KB)
Udana.epub (45.0 KB)
