As the person who used to build said PDF documentation, I confess to 
having dropped the ball on that :(

There are quite a few tools you need to install before you can transform 
docbook to PDF, the details are here: 
https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted

Then there is a test to check your toolchain under boost-root/doc/test.

To build everything, you need to invoke the Jamfile under doc/pdf. 
Unfortunately, this is likely to be hopelessly out of date - I'll see if 
I get that working again...
