It may be helpful if you can tell us why you specifically want PDF format.


Under Documentation > Documentation Downloads you can find a number of 
easy-to-download formats, including "single file HTML", which should be 
easier to convert to PDF while maintaining navigation:

https://www.php.net/download-docs.php


Given the size of the file you'll almost certainly need to download a 
html-to-pdf conversion tool rather than using a web-based tool. 
Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions here. I did try "print to 
PDF" in Chrome on Windows but that ran out of memory for me generating 
the print preview.


(For the more adventurous) The PHP documentation is built using PHD, 
which lists PDF as a supported output format:

https://github.com/php/phd?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-output-formats


Altho there's a pending PR from 2022 to "fix PDF generation", suggesting 
this might be currently broken:

https://github.com/php/phd/pull/69


Documentation for building the PHP docs can be found in the doc-base 
repository:

https://github.com/php/doc-base/blob/master/docs/local-setup.md


If you need further help, I would suggest posting to the docs mailing 
list, or the php-doc channel on the https://phpc.chat/ community Discord
