Hi, <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/fr> lacks its PDF, and similarly for /de (/ru and /zh-cn don’t have the PDF either, but that’s a known limitation).
When running ‘guix build -f doc/build.scm’, we get hard-to-decipher clues (thanks, TeX!): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- /gnu/store/sqi9bbxd7czxcnvhmm037yd01vykcgza-texinfo-manual-source/guix.de.texi:21958: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000]. @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par @endgraf @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par @endgraf @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par @endgraf @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par @endgraf @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par @endgraf @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par @endgraf ... l.21958 @uref{@uref{https://webssh.huashengdun.org/, WebSSH}} , das einen /gnu/store/sqi9bbxd7czxcnvhmm037yd01vykcgza-texinfo-manual-source/guix.de.texi:21958: ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Some weird problem in the de/fr translations that would cause problems for PDF output but not for HTML/Info (hard to believe). 2. A font issue caused by 1cde647cc05c640fbfa6f9779a0d7854bb90e153: that commit removed use of the monolithic texlive, which is good, but maybe the problem that were described in a comment there are not solved? On this topic, Ricardo recently reminded me of <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/33094#7>. Maxim, Julien, anyone: thoughts? I feel lost in the dark here. :-) Ludo’.
