Can there be 2 `simplepdf_vars` for generating multiple PDFs

[sachin-suresh-rapyuta]

I want to generate 2 PDFs from a single conf.py file. Is there such flexibility?

2 PDFs with different top-right-content or cover-bg.

You can combine different solutions to get this done:

1. Use sphinx-tags and set the needed tag during the build command: sphinx-build -t first_pdf -b simplepdf sources/ build/
2. Check in conf.py if a tag is set:

   # Untested, pseudo code
   if "first_pdf" in tags:
   simplepdf_vars = {version_A}
   else:
    simplepdf_vars = {version_B}  

   That's it.

Or you could have a different conf.py and select via: sphinx-build -c another_conf.py -b simplepdf sources/

How to define tags? For example, if I simply: tags.add('footag') even after importing them by: from sphinx.util.tags import Tags, I get the error:

"tags" is not defined PylancereportUndefinedVariable

For such common details please ask this question in the related Sphinx community. They will be able to help you much better and faster than I can.

This would be a nice addition to the config vars docs section, maybe like a Note or Tip

Yes trying this out. Having some issues in the "only" directive or still unsure how to use the conditional outputting.

Would be happy to see if you have achieved this or did something similar.
