Use the docbook files in CVS.

http://cvs.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gnucash-docs/guide/C/
gnucash-guide.sgml

(simile help/C/gnucash-help.sgml)

If that's not in your gnucash-docs source package, get a later version from 
CVS. (There are other changes as well as this).

That's probably a locale thing (UK) - I didn't give that option explicitly 
when the PDF was generated.

docbook2pdf gnucash-guide.sgml
http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/docbook-utils

I don't know if it's available for other distributions but the current CVS 
help and guide content does have valid DocBook content, specifically to 
generate PDF.

Other docbook tools can convert to single or chunked HTML, DVI, PS or other 
formats.
