The pdf manual download for IW7 was created with a tool called Help&Manual which I'm familiar with. Help&Manual will allow you to create projects programmatically via xml so I wondered if it was possible to scrape the online IW help, wrap some xml around it, then create a normal help file.
Turns out it's pretty straight forward (I only filled in the release history as proof of concept):

One thing that's nice is the built in search functionality with highlighting:

I imagine the demos and maybe even this forum could be archived in the help file. Something to think about.
