no problem with landscape, it's just a matter of settings, but 
producing PDF files from W is not fun. I prefer to use a page lay-out 
program like PageMaker, which generally gives me cleaner and smaller 
files

definitely. Especially if the idea is having print quality PDFs. If 
you're going to put 72dpi images in your manual, I would go HTML.
And maybe have a higher quality PDF version divided into chapters, 
linked from the HTML pages. And - final touch - your client could 
distribute a high-res PDF version on CD-rom


my 2 cents
