In my version of the manual, that sentence is followed by a hyperlink:

     Emacs also provides a Lisp pretty-printer in the ‘pp’ package, which
  reformats Lisp objects with nice-looking indentation.  *Note pp:
  (elisp)Output Functions.

pp doesn't by itself pretty-print files, it can only pretty-print Lisp
objects (as the hyperlinked node of the ELisp manual describes).
