Hi excellent folks, I figure the PDF product will be very slow on small mobile devices, and still slow on normal PC's, but I feel that is no showstopper, as you gain all the detail information, on a disconnected cheap device.
So I think if the osmarender stylesheet would be adapted slightly to put the "caption" of cities, suburbs, villages big enough to be readable on a low zoom level (entire map), then that map would be really easy to use I guess.

This is superb, incredibly fast (!!!) and exactly what I looked for, just that that I will need several PDF's, this is no issue. The Street index feature is just awesome. Thank you so much!!! :-) So please ignore the rest of this email, if you have priority tasks, consider the "ticket" as "solved". ;-) I tried on MapOSMatic a bounding box of (having just one PDF would be nice) 18.041 <= lat <= 18.732 -72.71 <= lon <= -71.732 The web service says, that the "bounding box is too large". Within this bounding box Port-au-Prince contains 95% of the data. So if PaP is possible to render, then technically that chosen large area does no big difference, as it is no uncompressed bitmap. I did another try with osmarender, as the 22 MByte OSM file I exported in parts via josm might be inconsistent somehow. So I took the larger "whole-Haiti" (80MByte, http://labs.geofabrik.de/haiti/2010-01-17-02-44.osm.bz2 ) file to let it render, but it took 2 Gigs of RAM and after 90 minutes the process died on my oldish machine. I use xsltproc -> libxml2, no Java as XSLT backend (is this ok?) for osmarender. Also, if you have any ideas, to make the PDF creation process possible on a lowtech machine, thank you for your ideas.
