But my notification was intended for people from Documentation project just because not everybody has bought Destiller and ordinary users shoud be able to create PDF by themselves (or there should be some correct pregenerated version downloadable for them somewhere on the web/ftp). As fas as I remeber there was some correctly pregenerated handbook downloadable yet about half a year ago.
