Hello,
I'm working on a project that is becoming too big to manage as a single
file, so I'm looking at splitting it in several files. This would also
have the benefit of generating several smaller html pages instead of a
single huge one.
My question is about pdf export. Is it possible to take a document made
of multiple org files and generate a single book from it? I'm worried
that if I use a master org file that includes the other ones, the links
between chapters would break.
Is this something you have tackled with? How did you do it?
Thanks,
Alan

Does Org support this? or do you just export each file?

You can just use '#+INCLUDE' construct and Org will take care.
But that will break your follow of exporting html files described above.
How about having two master files, one for html and one for pdf.
In the html-master.org, you use links to connect. And
in the pdf-master.org, you can just #+INCLUDE your files.
It'd be nice if we could tell exporters that we want multiple files from one
org file.
BTW, I don't think we have direct pdf exporter. So, you must be talking about
the latex exporter, right?

I was planning on exporting each file individually. (It's the main goal,
actually, as exporting the whole thing is taking too long.)

My problem is links. To give a concrete example, here is the file I want
to split in two:
* A headline
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: head1
:END:
This is the first file.
* Second headline
The first headline is number [[#head1]]
How do I change the link in the second headline so that I can split the
second headline into its own file and export it by itself? Right now it
cannot resolve the link. Maybe a solution would be to create a custom
link with different ways to export it…

This is the plan, if I find out how to deal with links.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.
Best,
Alan

Using [[*A headline]] ?
I might be still missing something but I got following:
$ cat a.org
* A headline
This is the first file.
#+INCLUDE: b.org :minlevel 1
$ cat b.org
* Second headline
The first headline is number [[*A headline]]
$ org-export.sh a.org
$ cat a.tex

hmm... latex export will generate \ref{sec:\#head}
if you have CUSTOM_ID set. html exporter works, though.
Is it a bug?

Not here. If I try to export the second file (the one with the link to
the first file), I get an error:
user-error: Unable to resolve link: "*A headline"
This is why I think I need to have the target file name in the link when
exporting it as a standalone file.
Best,
Alan

If you don't mind broken links, there's also
`org-export-with-broken-links'.

Unfortunately I need working links, so I'll try something else.

I now see that I totally misread your message.
What you want is to have multiple pdf files, say a.pdf and b.pdf, and link from
a.pdf to some specific page on the b.pdf, right?
I thought you want to generate one pdf from multiple org files.
Since you said "generate a single book from it".
Anyway, I don't know anything about latex, but how do you write such a
link in latex?
Something like this?: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/41539

No, I want multiple html files and a single pdf file generated from
multiple org files. It seems the simplest solution is to call a function
that fixes the links for the pdf export. I'll report here once I have
that function.

I have to use macro expansion and `org-export-global-macros` to swap the link.
I don't think we have conditionals to switch an internal and an external link.
HTML outputs are still not good at all (wrong chapter number, excess toc, etc.),
but at least you can see the body of the text.

This is impressive, thanks a lot. Changing the macro just before calling
the exporter is a great idea.
