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,
