Same as Lennie for me. I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with the pdx/idx files.

And I'm not just looking for manual titles. I'm also looking for the product grouping that used to be in the html file.

Tom,
When I do as you suggest it simply opens an Adobe page which allows me to 
search across the entire set of PDFs. It does not give me a list of the manual 
titles and links to open the appropriate books.

I downloaded it to /downloads/zos 3.1 docs, then extracted it into the same 
folder.
You can put it wherever it makes sense to you. Having downloaded it, open 
zOS310-GA-Indexed-PDF-package-(2023-09-29).pdx with Adobe reader. It is the 
only .pdx file in the collection.

You found the problem with the download collection.

See this IBM Idea (and please vote if you agree)
https://ibm-z-hardware-and-operating-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/ZOS-I-

In summary I'm requesting that IBM add a READ_ME_FIRST_ZOS_V3R1_TOC.HTM
as they had in previous z/OS download collections.

It would also be VERY NICE if they made it more obvious how/where to
download the full collection.

Subject: z/OS 3.1 documentation

Having seen the announcement of z/OS 3.1 today I have tried to obtain
the usual PDF collection of documentation.

I found it can be downloaded in zip form here, by selecting "IBM z/OS
Indexed PDF/PDX Collection". This has given me the set of pdf files.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0

However, there seems to be no way of selecting individual manuals by
title, as there was at previous z/OS levels.

Have I downloaded the wrong package? Or is this no longer to be available?
