Erm, I think you need to take another look at LaTeX. The current 
"default" setup on MacOS X is entirely geared towards producing PDF 
output and acceptance of PDF files as embedded graphics. Its been like 
this for years.

As for making the output look like you want it to, depending on what 
you want, you may want to take a look at ConTeXt.

I like DocBook too, but its integration and use of PDF is in no way 
superior to that in LaTeX. If anything, it involves more work.
