The wiki is not meant to be a replacement for a printed (or pdf) manual, but as an easy collaborative information sharing and writing tool.

Getting the data from the wiki into a page layout application may actually be easier than you may think. Using XSTL (xml transformation) or a custom db export to xml script, the data can easily be reused... how easily depends how the db is setup.

I have written such a script before which also added the InDesign styles markup. Once the layout template is made and styles defined, they just imported the xml and hey presto... the manual... well in that case in was a magazine.
