Can you try editing /usr/share/publican/xsl/pdf.xsl and changing:

<xsl:param name="tablecolumns.extensions" select="1"/>

to

<xsl:param name="tablecolumns.extensions" select="0"/>

I'm assuming it's using xsltproc, which doesn't have an 
adjustColumnWidths function, this leads to it going BOOM when it hits a 
table and tries to use that function.

This Just Works (TM) in the beta.

Cheers, Jeff.
