IDEA-28657 IDEA help should be available in PDF format
2
Issue is visible to: All Users
  The issue is visible to the selected user group only
The existing help is great for use while editing, but for reading about all the features of a new release, or for a new user, it's painful. Many people like to print out the help and read it on the train or under a tree somewhere. Some sort of easily-printable format would be excellent.

Well for now you need to go to Web help and there is a link to PDF copy of the page that you can download or print. We can make a zip archive with all pages available for download, too, if that is needed.

The main point of this request was to make a single PDF file for the entire help (for off-line reading).

Can you imagine how large will it be? imho, printing out a set of pages is much more feasible.

Documentation in PDF/Mobi/EPUB formats would be useful for mobile devices (Kindle/iPad), even if it takes 300Mb. Having PDF on a laptop and reading it when off-line is another use case.
