Yes, exactly. I have just build PDF using DSSSL stylesheets. You can look on result at http://www.kosek.cz/temp/manual.pdf It's about 5,6 MB. I used common Jade with output to RTF and then MS Word and Adobe Distiller to get PDF. I switched off interdocument links as they increase size of file significantly and I don't think that people want to use PDF as hypertext if they have more convenient HTML or HTML Help version of PHPDoc. However I left bookmarks in a file. So PDF is quite usable for printing if anyone wants spend 3000 sheets of paper. I didn't know that you guys had problems with creating PDFs. You probably used jadetex which is not enough robust (especially on documents larger then several hundreds of pages) and supported. If you like and of you think that PDFs can be useful for someone I can time to time generate them. I'm not sure if Jade and Word will handle correctly all languages, but at least latin based ones shouldn't cause problems. One year ago I also tried to get PDF via XSL-FO and FOP and PassiveTeX. I didn't remember details, but I was successful in general.
