Some folks might find this useful.

"This article describes how you can use DocBook to develop PDF
documents and will cover tools you need to edit DocBook articles and
tools to translate them to PDF documents. Since this article only
names the software tools you need and does not tell how to install
them, this article is intended for experienced Linux users.

"The first part of this article will focus on the format of DocBook
documents. When DocBook is introduced, i will try to explain what
tools are needed to convert these DocBook documents to PDF documents
which can be viewed with Acrobat."
