You can also add the PDF generation to your project.xml like this :

There is a known problem with the PDF generation tool (Apache's FOP) in that it doesn't allow for table structures with automatic column widths to be generated. Widths are uniformly distributed.
People using java 5 will have to use this release with maven 1.1 or maven 1.0 with at the most the PDF plugin 2.2.X.
Due to several problems, it is actually impossible to reference the same file in different items in navigation.xml. You must define another navigation file (using the property "maven.pdf.navigationFile") which you'll use only with the PDF plug-in. This navigation cannot define several items with the same href.
Identical name or id attributes within one document will lead to a build failure. Note in particular that in the current version of the pdf plugin, id's are constructed from sub/section names (in analogy to the xdoc plugin), so identical titles for sections or subsections will make the pdf generation fail. See MPPDF-40.
