[Zope] PDF Zope Book freakyness

[Chris McDonough]

There will be a PDF version of the 2.6 Zope Book... it may not cause
Acrobat to lose its mind. ;-)  It will likely be created out of the
BackTalk PDF generation facility (the 2.5 Zope Book PDF was created,
IIRC, out of html2ps).  Hopefully Acrobat won't barf on it.

HTH,
