doesn't know in which document to look for a solution, I think it is

The company I recently started working for, Color Kinetics, has a "not
bad" delivery portal.
Disclaimer: Only a couple items here are mine. All typos, weird
wording, etc., originated elsewhere. ;- )
And on format: PDF is still classed as a "terminal format" in that
it's relatively hard to modify.
IMO The US Internal Revenue Service has excellent online documentation portal:

You're right, but people like PDFs because they're
portable. Most that I know have at least one directory
stuffed with PDFs for fast reference, or catching up
