make pdf deletes PDF output immediately #553

Description

When building a PDF with make pdf, the script removes the output directory immediately after building the PDF; it also reports Output can be found in ./$(DOCS_BUILDDIR), which is not true.

I can see how you can still use the command to test whether the PDF builds (although I would still like to see the resulting PDF).

I suggest either removing the command in its current form, documenting it to highlight that it's purely a build check, or reworking it to separate the build and cleanup functions so it can actually be used to preview PDF builds locally.
