Interesting ideas - I'll pass them all along to the build team for
consideration.
As for how the PDFs are produced, the product documentation is sourced
using an XML implementation called DITA. The source is processed into
PDFs using a proprietary IBM toolkit that uses a plugin to produce
XSL-FO output, which is then converted to PDF output using Apache FOP.
There is a DITA Open Toolkit that can be used by anyone to create DITA
and create a variety of output types (including DITA or HTML).
