www.barebonespcb.com is high quality, fast and cheap.  Many board
houses offer a similar service.  The caveat is that they all expect
Gerber files rather than PDF.  You might be able to call and see if
they can take PDF as a special case.  Otherwise try to dig up the CAD
files that were used to create the PDF, or recreate the layout in
Eagle, gEDA, PCB Artist etc and export as Gerber.
Or skip the professional board houses and find someone with an etch
tank who can help.
