I would suggest you use some kind of continuous builder to generate PDFs 
from sources after every change, daily, on demand, etc. Then you do not 
need to pollute your sources with build products. As an example, if you 
use Hudson you can ask for the PDF from a build to be tracked as a build 
artifact, so it will be archived and easily available from the web 
interface (both the latest version and historical versions), and the 
changelog will be visible too.
