The index is generated by the DocBook XSL and not wkhtmltopdf, you can
view the html generated and play with the css to get the layout you
want, then add that to you overrides.css, or open a bug with a patch for
the pdfmain-css.tmpl :)

$ firefox ./tmp/en-US/html-pdf/index.html

Remember that wkhtmltopdf uses an older browser engine to render, so
don't get too fancy with the CSS ;)

I haven't looked in to being able to convert internal links to page
numbers, if I had time to spend on it I'd look at doing it in the footer
javascript, and if that's not possible then it'd have to be a hack on
wkhtmltopdf.

Cheers, Jeff.

P.S. If anyone wants to modify the tmpl file the docs are at
