Description

Many a times, users want to have an offline copy of Ref Guide.  Some people prefer to save HTML, and some people prefer it in PDF format.  Hence, Apache HBase team generates PDF version of document periodically and keeps it available at: https://hbase.apache.org/apache_hbase_reference_guide.pdf

It would be good if a link to this URL is available in the online guide so that users would become aware that there is a PDF version.  Right now, unless some one explicitly looks for it using Google/Bing search, they would not know.

 

As the PDF URL is fixed for latest documentation, it can be a static href.  However, I don't have any clues about how to make sure to get "version-relevant" PDF link for archived ref guides.
