We don't want to provide a PDF just "so that we have a PDF", so printing 
a web page to PDF is not really an option.

If you want to improve your XSLT-FO skills, feel free to write the 
stylesheets; if you manage to use only the technologies that are already 
available on our web nodes (nope, we won't open HTML in OpenOffice, 
thank you), we can give it a try.

But there's no point in generating "a PDF" without all fancy features 
like a book-like layout, inter-document links etc.

Why do you *need* the PDF at all?

Cheers,
-jkt
