Course we can. Software has bugs, this is one.

If producing PDFs was high priority, then we might even look into
alternative software, trying new versions of the software we used, etc.
But it isn't really. The topic based help we're producing for Feisty
isn't suited for PDF production - it's made up of shorter documents, for
on-screen help rather than printing out and reading.

Two documents we maintain that might be useful for PDF production are
the Server Guide, and the Switching from Windows guide. If someone wants
to look into the current and alternative solutions for building PDF from
docbook, I will help point them in the right direction, so let me know.

And yes Duncan, any alternatives should be at least open source, if not
completely free (the solution we currently use isn't completely free).
