Wad2PDF examines wad files and prints an overhead picture of all levels to a PDF file.

Wad2PDF is a program that converts the levels in Doom wad files into PDF files. The result has a bird's eye view of every level, with floors neatly texturized and all items in the level in their proper places.

The PDF output can be imported to graphics programs for further editing or printed out directly. You can even create wall-sized mega posters of your favorite Doom levels.

Here are some key features of "Wad2PDF":
supports all Doom games: Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife
full pwad support
creates browsable PDF with bookmarks identified by level names
reads gl nodes both from wads and GWA files
resulting PDF is vectorized and can be zoomed arbitrarily (extreme zooms will make the textures blocky, though)
available under the GPL
does not support hi-res graphics or scaled/zoomed flats

Requirements:
Wad2PDF requires only an IWAD file and optionally resource wads and a pwad. Those not running the Windows binary also need a Python installation. All levels must have version 5 gl nodes built with glBSP. Some proficiency with the command line is also required, since Wad2PDF does not have a GUI.

What's New in This Release:
This release adds support for gl nodes version 5.
