Sounds like it might be a good idea ...

I wrote a very simple book-generating program (in Python) using my
xtopdf toolkit. Its called
PDFBook.py and is part of the xtopdf package. xtopdf in turn uses the
open source ReportLab toolkit, which is pretty good, IMO. So is
PDF::Writer.

xtopdf info and software is here:
