Hi,

I succeed to build the pdf doc with pdflatex with nice picture but there are 
some issues :

1. using pdflatex means not use latex, dvipdf, etc. anymore
2. pdflatex doesn't work with the href package
3. we need to set up all the boudingbox of picture and add the extension for 
all files.

what do you think?

Stephan, I supposed you want this:
https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/docs/branches/1.0.0/french/user_guide/

Y.
