+      <p>To generate a PDF from documentations defined in several sub-projects, you must copy all the xdocs files from these projects.</p>
+      <p>Here is an example on how to do it :</p>
+     <source><![CDATA[ 
+<attainGoal name="multiproject:site"/>
+<maven:reactor 
+  basedir="${basedir}" 
+  postProcessing="true" 
+  includes="**/project.xml" 
+  collectOnly="true" 
+  ignoreFailures="false" 
+  collectionVar="multiprojects"/>
+<!-- We copy the generated files to use them in the pdf -->
+<j:forEach var="reactorProject" items="${multiprojects}">
+  <j:set var="fromDir" value="${reactorProject.context.getVariable('maven.gen.docs')}"/>
+  <ant:copy todir="${maven.build.dir}/pdf/${maven.multiproject.aggregateDir}${reactorProject.artifactId}">
+    <ant:fileset dir="${fromDir}" force="true">
