Doxygen: HTML Output has Pages Organized Correctly; But pdf Does Not


While the html output of the following is as expected, the pdf from doxygen Doxyfile.in; cd build/latex; make pdf is not in respecting the directives for the order of the pages. Can this be fixed? If so, how?

Solution

  • As images are not shown in comments:

    With the 1.9.1. version (January 8, 2021) I see:

    enter image description here

    With the 1.10.0 version I see:

    enter image description here

    So this looks OK to me and the problem has been solved in the mean time.

    So the answer to the question: Can this be fixed? If so, how? is update to the current (1.10.0) version of doxygen.
