As mentioned in the section titled "PDF and LaTeX builds" in
Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst, "make pdfdocs" requires Sphinx 2.4 or
later.

Another hint for you.

You can say "make SPHINXDIRS=<sub dir> htmldocs pdfdocs" to
test-build docs under Documentation/<sub dir>/.
You might see false warnings of "WARNING: undefined label: ..."
which you wouldn't see in full builds, though.

Hope this helps.

I see there is no mention of the SPHINXDIRS make variable in the
doc-guide.  I'll see it can be explained somewhere in sphinx.rst.

        Thanks, Akira
