you may look at the org.texi file, in the doc directory of org-V.ersion,
(zip? tgz?) and convert it to the format you want. 
man texinfo
I believe in the doc directory the manual is already in pdf.

yes because the "org" file is in info format
and Emacs does "convert" it to a browsable 
format (is like viewing a html source file  or displaying
it in a browser, pretty different, don't you think? ;-)

I think it depends on the css. Have a look on it ;-)
