That was said in what comes across as a nasty tone.  Unnecessary.

Of course I have googled.  I spent an hour or two last night looking at all of
the relevant docuwiki documentation (including your referenced page!) and the
source code.  I also have fairly extensive experience with FPDF and the
various HTML -> PDF tools.  FPDF is good.  The tools suck.  None of them do a
good job of converting arbitrary HTML to printable format.  Also, there's no
easy way that I've found to retrieve all of the wiki pages in order to run
them through an HTML->PDF converter even if there were a good converter.

The way to get clean output to an alternate form will be to write a renderer.
I will likely use FPDF to do that, as it does a good job.  It will not be a
trivial task though.  (There is discussion on one of those pages in the
documentation that discuss writing such a thing, but no one appears to have
yet spent the time to do so.)  It'll likely be a couple days of work.  After
the renderer is written, there'll still the the task of modifying docuwiki to
spit out the whole book.

I've tried to get the documentation work jump-started here, and I feel like
you're fighting me.  I don't enjoy doing user documentation, but I've
succeeded in getting some previous non-contributers motivated to work on it.
I'd just assume spend my time doing engineering work -- either on qooxdoo
itself or (one of these days) working on my application using qooxdoo.  Would
you like me to just step away from everything to do with documentation?  Say
the word, and I'll be glad to.  I don't see anyone else filling the void,
though.

Sorry if I'm sounding sour, but that's how I'm feeling.
