Change the \afivepaper section in texinfo.tex to this, add @afivepaper to the start of the .texi (replace any other paper size directives), and copy it to the directory in which the pdf is generated.

A more flexible approach would be to use the steps on https://github.com/ikrukov/epub to convert the texi to epub. However, this didn't work for the gdb manual, it generates an invalid docbook that can not be xslt'ed to epub due to some listitem issue.
