One option is to make an alternative TT template that outputs XSL-FO*, 
and then use Apache FOP to transform that into PDF. That works quite 
well and produces nice PDFs, but might be a bit heavy-weight if you're 
only looking to make one thing.

[*: Or, output XML, and then do an XSLT->XSL-FO transformation prior to 
continuing with FOP.]
