How can one create a professional looking pdf like the QOAF specification one?

Two-column layout in Microsoft Word, large header, smaller footer, with appropriate font choices would get you basically all the way there.

I looked at the PDF, and can confidently say I could typeset that in a word processor, using a stylesheet to sustain it.

That's not what they did, apparently.

The document properties call out https://cairographics.org

Cairo’s a couple layers down from what you’re talking about. It’s the actual glyph rendering.

Yeah. It's just a clue indicating they didn't use a word processor.

HTML+CSS, converted to PDF via the Save As PDF feature in Firefox. (Or the same could be done with other browsers, but this one apparently comes from FF.)
