The Matrix specification is mirrored here for convenience and security. I always download everything I can, and with a project this long-running and important, having a full copy of the Matrix specification is an absolute must for me. So, here is a complete, offline copy of the Matrix specification in PDF format. You can download any or all of these PDFs at will, or just access them from here.
The complete v1.3 specification was printed from spec.matrix.org as a batch of PDF documents. Unfortunately, these are dumb PDFs; you can't copy text out of them, and the page breaks are horrible because these are just Ctrl + P-ed out of Chrome. In the future, I might try to get some higher quality PDFs, but these will get the job done for now.

All the files hosted here are provided as is. If you spot an issue with them, feel free to reach out, but note that I don't provide checksums or signatures or anything like that. While I think these documents will be crucial if something ever happens to my internet access or the Matrix website, I don't think I need to checksum and sign these documents.
