Convert PDB to PDF

Can you convert PDB to PDF?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PDB to PDF?
No - not a direct conversion.

The db lists pdb->pdf (4 programs) - meaningless for a Visual C++ PDB: it is a binary debug-symbol container, not a document, and there is no text 'page' to render. (The 4 'programs' are spintax, likely confusing this with the Palm/eReader .pdb e-book, which CAN be converted to PDF via Calibre - but that is a different file type.) For an MSVC PDB there is nothing to convert; use llvm-pdbutil to dump its contents as text.
