There isn't a nice a smooth support to generate
PDFs etc. from Wiki pages, at least from MoinMoin.
There are some approximation routes via DocBook
(requires later version 1.5+ and good DocBook rendering) 
or via LaTeX with incompletenesses. In addition this
will face common problems such as linking images
and handling wiki storage access security etc.

The simplest and sure way is to utilize the best
commonly available multimedia renderer out there: 
the web browser; with its printing function and
capturing the print output with a PDF maker directly
or via PostScript. On some platforms it is native,
some can use free Adobe driver and GhostScript.

This will not be devoid of limitations from strict
publishing aesthetics, but is sure to deliver results 
promptly fit for practical use. For example, see
