We can create HTML and LaTeX code from the XML files the books are stored in. Using the LaTeX code creating a PDF is just a matter of running pdflatex. The problem is that the resulting PDF is suboptimal because there are lots of ugly pagebreaks. Finetuning the PDF (move images around, enlarge/shrink pages, etc.) to make it look good is the real work. Regards, Ingo
