I would warn you that the fonts dont look very nice in this PDF (embedding
some TTF fonts in it might help, presumably it is generated based on a
PS file).
This PDF is the same content as the HTML documentation and as far as I
remember the conversion process loses the links and structure from the
document.
The only benefit i can think of by using the PDF version of the manual is
that it might be easier to print.

The Manual current does not include a lot of extra useful information
contained in the FAQ or DiaWiki, and I really need to get off my ass and
do something about it.
