[drupal-docs] generating Drupal Handbook pdf's manually

It seems to me that is might make more sense in the long run to build 
Server-Side PDF generation into the book module using PHP.  There is a 
costly PDF library for PHP called PDFlib 
(http://www.pdflib.com/index.html).  But there are also some open/free 
ways to create PDFs with PHP:

FPDF
http://www.fpdf.org/

PDF4PHP
http://www.gnuvox.com/pdf4php/

Does anyone have experience with these tools.  I suspect we could use 
them in the same way that the image.module uses imagemagick.  I know 
this is a little off topic for the documentation discussion, but our 
documentations needs seem to be continually drifting towards a 
discussion of our documentation toolset.
