The issue is not really the tools - fop is relatively stable now and
the xsl required isn't particularly complicated. It's

Our documentation is written to be part of a coherent system of
documentation. As a result it contains a lot of links pointing to
other documents and individual application manuals. These just won't
work with PDF, because there is no method of linking one PDF to
another.

The Server Guide is ideal for PDF conversion, because it is a
standalone document. But our other documents are not, and I can't
think of any way to resolve that issue at the moment. It's simply the
difference between writing standalone "books" or "articles", and
writing a help system. The two types of documentation also require
different styles, as well as different structures.

The only solution is to develop two types of documentation, one for
the system help, and another "book" about Ubuntu on the desktop. I'm
fairly confident that maintaining two types of documentation alongside
each other is beyond our scope and resources as a team.
