You can also convert POD to Docbook SGML using Pod::DocBook tool pod2docbook and then produce lovely PDF using OpenJade. On RH Linux this is really just a few RPMs (docbook and jade RPMs) plus the CPAN install of pod2docbook. Basically
% pod2docbook myfile.pod > myfile.sgml
If you want to avoid a bunch of error messages you need to make two small edit depending on where your docbook is installed and what version you are using. I show the 1-liner to convert to 4.1 here YMMV. It is actually not necessary to do this, but you'll get a screenful.
% perl -e 'while(<>){unless($f++){s/Davenport/OASIS/;s/2\.4\.1/4.1/;s/ +\"\/opt.+\"//;}print}'
Now convert to TeX
% openjade -t tex -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets/print/d +ocbook.dsl mfile.sgml % pdfjadetex myfile.tex
If you wanted RTF you would just replace -t tex with -t rtf. HTML also available. When you get fancy you can make up your own stylesheets so you can have a custom layout/fontsets/etc.

Update, its easier than that...

% docbook2pdf myfile.sgml

I hope that is helpful, I'm finding myself rather fond of docbook suddenly, thought I'd share.
