 == How to build pdfs ==
 
-''TODO''
+First of all you will need an FO processor, there are basically only two free two choices here:
+
+* Apache FOP from http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
+* XEP Personal edition from http://www.renderx.com/download/personal.html
+
+The XEP processor generally produces much better results, but inserts a small "built with XEP" advert in the footer of each page.  You will also need a Java virtual machine to run the FO processor on.
+
+You will then need to edit your user-config.jam file to point to the location of the FO processor, for example:
+
+{{{
+using fop :  
+   # path to invocation batch file:
+   C:/Progra~1/RenderX/xep/xep.bat
+   :
+   # path to Java installation, this is ignored if you're using XEP:
+   C:/PROGRA~1/Java/j2re1.4.2_12 
+   ;
+}}}
+
+You should now be able to build pdf docs via:
+
+{{{
+bjam pdf
+}}}
