Viktor,
my suggestion was addressed only to the first of your questions, not the
rest of them.
The transformation of a TEX into a PDF is beyond my knowledge; moreover,
since TEX is not XML, I don't think you can write a Transformer or
Serializer to emit your output in PDF using Cocoon.
Best regards,
