Hmm, I'm not sure about the pdf thing, but it has a fairly small number of core features[0], which are all documented and can be browsed off-line, and searched through from within the minimalistic editor that it comes with.
You could try looking at the source code of the documentation[1]. It uses PHP to render the site, although the actual documentation of the API is XML[2]
[0] https://processing.org/reference/

Thanks, did not notice the XML sources. Looks like it must be possible to produce a decent PDF with some effort.

If you manage, be sure to let the Processing foundation know; I'm sure they'll love a PDF (eBook?) version of the documentation.
Even in this thread people suggested to write documentation straight there. It is an extremely worrying trend.

Did any of them really manage to stay sane?

Last time I looked at it I could not find a printable PDF reference. Is it possible to generate one?
My quality threshold for documentation was always set very high, because I started my career with VMS. And DEC always had that obsession with comprehensive, concise and clean documentation on every tiniest bit they're exposing.
