The home page for the documentation has links to the Tutorial, FAQ,
Developer's Guide, Reference Manual etc in both HTML and PDF format.
But unless the PDF docs are built, the links are broken. So for my
installation, the homepage (HTML) is

/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/html/en/index.html

but has links to all these non-existent PDF

/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/pdf/en/tutorial/SageTutorial.pdf
/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/pdf/en/faq/faq.pdf
/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/pdf/en/constructions/constructions.pdf
/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/pdf/en/thematic_tutorials/thematic_tutorials.pdf
/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/pdf/en/developer/developer.pdf

This does not exactly give a good impression of Sage. People will
click a PDF, and get a message like

"File not found
 Firefox can't find the file at
/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/pdf/en/faq/faq.pdf"


I was wondering if it would be possible to have a default PDF file,
which indicated what were the necessary steps to generate the real PDF
files.

Or perhaps "sage-4.6.2.rc0/devel/sage-main/doc/output/html/en/index.html"
has a note by the PDFs to indicate they will not exist unless they
have been built.
