I've been using a package manager to grab Gforth and should have known 
to check the tarball.

I don't see a PDF in the ./doc folder, but I can make it from the 
PostScript file.

~/gforth-0.7.9_20250211/doc$ ls
2012-words   gforth.info-1  gforth.ps       makedoc.fs          vmgen.ps
fdl.texi     gforth.info-2  gforth.texi.in  Makefile.in         vmgen.texi
gforth.1     gforth.info-3  gforth.txt      standard-words.awk  words
gforth.css   gforth.info-4  glossaries.doc  version.texi.in
gforth.info  gforth.js      gpl.texi        vmgen.info

I could have also installed the gforth-pdf package which I was 
previously unaware of:

$ sudo apt install gforth-pdf
....
