Hi Tony,

If you want PDF without shelling out for Adobe Acrobat, you might want 
to look at DocBook (http://www.docbook.org/). If you're using Fedora/Red 
Hat, it is relatively easy to generate nice looking PDF's using just a 
text editor and XML. The learning part is tough, though. Or you could 
use Open Office, though I haven't tried the PDF function there myself.
