My private opinion: - The docs are written in HTML. HTML is not WISYWIG so is difficult to convert unambiguously to PDF (at least, with an open-source tool). Also, the relationships between the docs are defined by the hyper-links: how do you convert a bunch of small docs into a single PDF? Who or what defines the page/chapter/section order? - Why? So you can print it? Unless you want a zillion unrelated pages, you'd need a major editing effort to produce a table of contents and index. If you want to read it on a computer, HTML is better. If you want a hard-copy, buy the O'Reilly book. - The proper way to produce HTML and PDF documentation is to write the docs in word processor (eg, FrameMaker, OpenOffice, Word) and then produce two output versions - HTML and PDF. This ain't the way apache docs are set up.
