Yes, I don't see why not,
And theres no strict rules here, I can look into automated updates at
some point.

But at the moment some pages are not displaying correct at all:

----

The images side-by-side show as 2 empty cells in the PDF.
http://www.blender.org/manual/getting_started/basics/interface/extended_controls.html

See:
http://download.blender.org/ftp/ideasman42/blender_manual.pdf (page 40)

----

The cycles feature matrix also misses ticks and crosses, (page 1180),
since they're unicode characters.

----


So I first like to see this is generally usable and that theres enough
interest to maintain the PDF version before setting up automatic
builds.
