Is there a PDF of this? The URL http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/ has a

which has a circualr reference back to the Digital Mars site and no PDF
about D 2.0, just various old PDFs about D 1.0.
The makefile for the documentation has a build target for pdf's, but I
haven't tried it.
I don't think the current approach to generating PDFs is good - it's
essentially using a bridge for generating PDF from HTML.
What we need is a set of macros to generate TeX from ddoc followed by
compilation. That will produce beautiful PDF files. I'll get to that
once the Kindle pipeline is finished.
BTW we can choose the page size to be different from 8.5*11, but indeed
reflowing is not possible.
