Hi there,
i agree with W. Martin Bogert and i'm not satisfied either. In addition i
have found the following caveats. I hope we speak about trac 0.11.x.

 * the PDF cannot handle the output of the  [[TOC]] Macro. It's too bad
about the missing Table of Contens.
 * i don't know any possibilities to set something like headers or footers
specially for the PDF-Output (Logo / Disclaimers and so on).

It would be a great advance to solve this points, sadly i'm not that crack
to do it by myself.
(If i find a valuable how-to for such challanges i'm willing to lay my hands
on it).

sincerely yours
  Ice
