Sorry, Xilize leaves the presentation up to a web browser.  However, since it 
does generate well-formed XHTML, you can use any number of tools to generate 
PDF, ODF, etc. from that.

For example, see http://www.re.be/css2xslfo/:

"CSSToXSLFO is a utility which can convert an XML document, together with a 
CSS2 style sheet, into an XSL-FO document, which can then be converted into 
PDF, PostScript, etc. with an XSL-FO-processor. It has special support for 
the XHTML vocabulary, because that is the most obvious language it would be 
used for. The tool has a number of page-related extensions. It also comes 
with an API in the form of an XML filter."

If you find this or some other opensource  tool worthwhile I'd certainly 
consider ways to make it work smoothly with Xilize2.
