We do not generate a PDF document because the setup of the required 
tools on Windows is so complex that it is not worth attempting :(

I have tried to generate a PDF user guide using a2x with both dblatex 
and fop as a PDF generator back end but I have not fully succeeded due 
to several issues including errors in the current asciidoc source files 
that do not seem to cause the current HTML generation to fail.

If I get time I will have a look at adding a pdfdocs target to the build 
script that will be usable on non-Windows systems.
