Hi Greg,

I did have a look at asciidoctor-pdf but its pre-relaease status and the 
fact that it will not install on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS since it has a 
dependency on Ruby 2.0 (via prawn 2.0.2) so it gets messy very quickly.

The asciidoctor-fopub utility is not in the repos at all which makes it 
a bit simpler although it requires both a Java JRE and JDK. Obviously 
not very useful for package building but if I make the WSJT-X CMake PDF 
generation silently fail if the tool is not available, it can at least 
be used to generate a PDF when needed.

The fopub tool uses FOP so has all the FO parameters available for 
tweaking the PDF generation and does seem to work very well.
