Generate .tex out of .xml 2. Generate .dvi out of .tex (in three runs, because of the nature of the converter) 3. Convert .dvi to .pdf Probably we hit a limit in the second step, as we have a too big manual and the converter can't cope with it. Hartmut suggested that the limit settings of that converter should be increased so it would be able to run correctly. I cannot add anything to this, I have no experinece in generating PDFs this way, nor I have ever tried it. Goba
