This will do what you want and probably has the largest set of plugins
etc. For example, I just typed "mediawiki pdf export" into google and
the first hit is "Extension:Pdf Export - MediaWiki"
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export>

I use MediaWiki for a personal notebook and you can just ignore all of
the extras that you're not using. Equally you can get as
sophisticated/detailed as you need or want.

> Twiki : Lots of optional plugins, not clear that there are document exporters, but it does promise to provide document revision control (2.c.)  I'd be interested in knowing how that works.

Be aware of the major political brouhaha and the consequent fork into
the open source version - http://foswiki.org/
