[Bf-docboard] 回复： How to build pdf file for the manual

[Campbell Barton]

You can run "make pdf" if you have tetex/latex installed.

Just tried, it generally looks OK although, although some images in
tables give issues,
see: The different Manipulators.

It's nice to be able to build different targets, but think for the
online manual it's enough to keep multi language HTML builds running.
