I hope you succeeded. If ever you had some troubles, keep us informed so

By docker, you mean following
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation#building-the-documentation-using-docker
, I found the instructions minimalist and my attempt years earlier on
Windows had not been successful. Or do you have another recipe? I can see
we have one in the qgis-website readme. I could give it a shot later.
About pdf, I've never built it myself. So no idea.

While not necessarily what would bring new writers to the team, having easy
to build instructions could be of help when good times come ;)

Thanks,
Harrissou

Thanks.
