if you do some archaeology on the old, obsolete, free manual you will find
it uses a build system like

docbook xml source

docbook xsl stylesheet transforms

apache fop to output pdf.

When I worked on it there were a few problems, but I liked the process. 
Apparently no one else did, however.  I suspect FOP has progressed since I
last looked, and I think there are other flow object processors now
available to convert appropriate xml to pdf.

I think the firebird project (on sourceforge) still has a working setup
like this in the manual module.
