+** Contents
+*** Directories
+- ~DEL~: Deliverables. A directory that may include plain SVG files
+ and exported PDF files. *This is probably what you want*.
+- ~DWG~: Drawing source files. A directory that may include [[https://inkscape.org/][Inkscape]]
+ SVG files.
+- ~EXEC~: Executable files. A directory that may include scripts
+ useful for manipulating files.
+- ~IMG~: Reference image files. A directory that may include various
+ image files used in creation of project source files.
+*** Files
+- ~README.org~: This file.
+- ~REVISIONS.org~: A file containing a detailed version history of
+ each drawing.
+- ~TODO.org~: A file containing a list of pending tasks for the
+ project.
** Usage
*** Generate a combined PDF
-[[https://inkscape.org/][Inkscape]] is used to convert SVGs to individual PDFs but a script is
-available at ~./EXEC/combine_pdfs.sh~ to merge multiple single-page
-PDFs into a single PDF file; the script uses the [[https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/][~pdftk~ utility]]
-available on typical [[https://www.debian.org/][Debian]]-based [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnu-Linux][GNU/Linux]] machines of 2023. On a
-typical Debian 12 system, the following command may be used to merge
-~input1.pdf~ and ~input2.pdf~ files into ~output.pdf~.
-
-: $ /bin/bash combine_pdfs.sh output.pdf ~input1.pdf~ ~input2.pdf~
