I uploaded a quick PDF I created with no attempt to beautify it. I took
your no-chunks HTML and just printed it using cups-PDF. I didn't see
any graphics in your web page, except for admonitions icons,  so you
won't see any in the doc.

The links for the PDF files are:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnBabich?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=FC6UG.pdf

Another example is the Desktop User Guide, complete with screenshots, at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnBabich?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=DUG.pdf

This was produced from this link:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/DesktopUserGuide/Print

using File > Print (using printer CUPS/cups-PDF).

The output is even cleaner if you select

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/DesktopUserGuide/Print?action=print

which is the same as "Print View" under "More Actions" on the wiki page.

Let me know what you think of these samples.
