@akuker Does the pdf file have the same contents as the step file? IMHO pdf files aren't ideal for version control, and adds heft to anyone who clones the repo.

The PDF has the same contents as the Schematic. STEP is a 3D model of the board. Agree that adding a bunch of PDFs to the repo isn't the greatest idea. But, I think this provides value for folks who don't have KiCAD installed.

@akuker Is Kicad able to render into a version control friendly format, such as svg?

Not saying that svg would be more user friendly per se, but just exploring options. :)

@rdmark - not that I'm aware of. I've removed all of the PDFs from the git repo and added them to the wiki instead. Does that sound like a better solution?

[rdmark]

@akuker Sorry for being difficult! Yes, keeping the pdfs in the wiki sounds like a good idea, at least for now. If it becomes a management overhead to keep source and wiki in sync, let's revert back to the old way of doing things...

BTW, one random thought I had is to look into if there are kicad to pdf Linux tools, to create something like a pdf generation script in the repo.
