Does this work for Windows?
I'm getting such error:
Exception occurred: File "c:\python37\lib\site-packages\sphinx\registry.py", line 315, in load_extension mod = __import__(extname, None, None, ['setup']) File "c:\python37\lib\site-packages\rst2pdf\pdfbuilder.py", line 129 except Exception, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This is a Python 2/3 issue, not a Windows issue. You must be running Python 3, and it looks like rst2pdf (at least the version available through PyPI) isn't compatible with Python 3.
I have one error:
Sphinx error:
Builder name pdf not registered or available through entry point
so how should I fix it?
To track a Python 3-compatible release for rst2pdf, see this issue.
brilliant man. thank you for the guide.

You can't
Great work listing it out.
I'm using sphinx_rtd_theme that works well with html build but the PDF build returns no theme and just the headings stuff.
Is there a way to produce ReadtheDocs theme in PDF?
Much appreciated.
Thanks
Tanq u saved me .
