It is not possible to create the PDF file from the Eclipse Help system, when the help files contain the javadoc.

BIRT document is embedded in the Eclipse Help System. I think this is a general Eclipse IDE enhancement rather than a BIRT document issue.

Just move to the Eclipse IDE box.

It is not industry practice to provide Javadoc as PDF.
