How to generate pdf documents from doxygen

I m new to documentation and found that doxygen will save a hell of my time by it's cool tools.And i started experimenting with it using my c project which contain 3 source files.And right now im able to generate html/man/latex/doc files but i don't know how to generate pdf from the out put.

So far i have installed doxygen and used command line interface to generate Doxyfile. After that i have edited the doxyfile generated and

set the command Doxygen doxyfile

And output is generated is devoid of any pdf..but includes html refman and latex format. I trust it is the latex format output coz the output is larger in size than .c source files.

What is the correct way of generating pdf using doxygen.It would be extremely helpful for me to find the correct way of usage.

Regards

if it is a linux system, navigate to folder where latex and html folder is generated and do:

cd latex && make

Doxygen generates makefile and supporting tex files, once the make is run successfully it will generate document in the name of refman.pdf

In your latex directory is a batch file called, "make.bat". Execute it to produce your PDF, "refman.pdf".
