--------------------------------

Until this issue is resolved, here is a workaround.  Essentially, it flattens the site hierarchy, before running the PDF plugin, by copying the sources from the parent and all child modules into a single folder.

In the parent's pom.xml:
{code:xml}
<properties>
  <site.aggregate.dir>${project.build.directory}/pdf-aggregate</site.aggregate.dir>
</properties>
<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>aggregate-pdf-sources</id>
          <phase>pre-site</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <outputDirectory>${site.aggregate.dir}</outputDirectory>
            <resources>
              <resource>
                <directory>src/site/</directory>
              </resource>

              <!-- repeat for each module -->
              <resource>
                <directory>module1/src/site</directory>
                <excludes>
                  <exclude>site.xml</exclude>
                </excludes>
              </resource>

            </resources>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-pdf-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.2</version>
      <configuration>
        <siteDirectory>${site.aggregate.dir}</siteDirectory>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>
{code}

This works well when the PDF plugin is configured to run as part of the site phase.  If not, simply run {{mvn pre-site pdf:pdf}}.
