   Follow-up cleanup from the `maven-pdf-plugin` retirement (final release 
1.6.2 on 2025-03-04, repo archived under INFRA-26617).
   
   The "How to export in PDF?" FAQ named three things, and all three are gone:
   
   - the **iText module** and the **FO module** — both removed in Doxia 
2.0.0-M1 by [DOXIA-630](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIA-630) 
("Remove all deprecated modules", `ba9b17a4`);
   - the **Maven PDF Plugin** — retired March 2025.
   
   So the entry was three dead links deep, and the surviving advice ("probably 
only the fo module is going to be supported in the future") reads as a plan 
that was overtaken five years ago.
   
   I kept it as a FAQ rather than deleting it, since "how do I get a PDF out of 
this" is still a reasonable question and the useful answer is now *you can't, 
and here is what happened*. The final `maven-pdf-plugin` release is named so 
that anyone whose build stopped working can find the trail without digging.
   
   Note this is slightly wider than the retirement itself — fixing only the 
plugin sentence would have left the two removed modules recommended in the 
paragraph above it. Happy to narrow it if you would rather the module removal 
were its own change.
   
   Paired with apache/maven-site#1635, which fixes the same recommendation in 
the Java report plugin guide. `xmllint` clean.
