Yes, you need to convert .sgml to .tex with jade first, then
compile .tex with pdftex '&pdfjadetex'. In short:
a) get .dvi or .ps format
sgml --(jade)--> tex --(tex '&jadetex')--------> dvi --(dvips)--> ps
b) get .pdf format
sgml --(jade)--> tex --(pdftex '&pdfjadetex')--> pdf
To use pdftex, execute the following command:
% pdftex '&pdfjadetex' firstbook.tex
after sgml->tex conversion with jade.
The primer is incorrect on that point (s/tex/pdftex/).
Probably doc/share/mk/doc.docbook.mk would help.
In addition, as the alternative, you can use print/dvipdfm in FreeBSD
Ports Collection to create .pdf from .dvi (in that case, only jadetex
is needed).
