I tried adding:

install pdf-python-install
  :
    ../../libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc//tutorial
  :
    <location>.
    <name>python_tutorial.pdf
    <install-type>PDF
    <format>pdf
  ;

But get a load of Boost.Build errors:

d:/data/boost/Trunk/tools/build/v2/tools\stage.jam:143: in construct from 
module object(install-target-class)@439
error: When <name> property is used in 'install', only one source is allowed

Any ideas or workarounds?

Thanks, John.
