May be only a Windows security related issue. Right click on the file and
then properties.
At the end of the dialog you have a message that say "The file is from
another computer ..."
with a button "Clear lock" (not sure about exact text of english version).
Press it.

Mmm. I' ve just modified it. It introduce, via hard code, the varname tag
within
the term tag. For those not familiar with docbook this means: the 'term' in
a
definition list must be a name of variable, no other things. May be only a
misunderstanding since the definition list in docbook is called
variablelist.

If we want PDF, via docbook we can use FOP that is Java, or we can use
Latex from docbook o directly from rst. But I think that latex introduces
some
other requirements and complication in the toolchain of build.
