I discussed this at the Core Developer Sprint in Cambridge this week with several others, including the release manager for Python 3.14.
We resolved that given the low usage, balanced against the high effort and resource use in maintaining them, we will no longer build PDF versions of the documentation for download. We will keep EPUB and the archived HTML downloads, which can still be used for offline use, and we will not delete existing PDFs.
We’ll also update the documentation to provide advice on how to build a PDF locally, which will remain an option.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this discussion or voted in the poll, this was a very productive discussion.
