Some time ago, I worked on some TeX skeleton (generated with script's
aid) to produce a PDF file with nice bookmarks and all the like.
However, I came to the conclusion that this isn't a real solution.

I'm still thinking about how paper-based documentation can be made up
cleverly enough to gain text as well as images and mixing meta-data into
that. Maybe I'd do some C programming and hack something nice producing
PDF files helding everything? But first, I'd need to understand PDF
(whose specification actually is about 8cm thick...)
