I've been playing around with pdf plugins when we were restoring the site and moving it to its new server.

I had the intention to reinstate the pdf functionality for one of the last issues but was out of the loop regarding editorial progress.

Maybe we can make an effort to, indeed, resolve the issue "this year" (some light coding required and a good way to make sure the pdf move nicely from the edit-suite to the published front end)
