One simple way of doing this is when you are on your chosen a page in the community documentation website just select Print, then Print to File and save it as a PDF in your home folder

Just use wget wget -p --convert-links -r website.com -o logfile to download the whole site and convert the links to have it for offline viewing. Then you can view it offline in html format. You can then convert it afterwards individually to pdfs or whatever suits you, as it is a hasstle to convert it instantly online while doing.

Use wget -r -l 0 -np -e robots=off -U "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT x.y; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0" -k -p -R *action=* https://help.ubuntu.com/community in your target directory. @asutosh 's would hypothetically work, but one would incur robots.txt issues, extra pages downloaded, etc. I have tested this and it will download all HTML. If you want to get images, you may need to do a bit of tweaking.
