Nick Payne use to create a PDF portfolio of all the documentation following
a release, e,g.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-12/msg01302.html, but
hasn't done so for several years.

To my knowledge, there has never been a single PDF containing all the
manuals.  Of course, you could download each individual PDF and manually
stitch them together; but that might cause problems for the table of
contents and inter-document links.

The PDFs are, admittedly, a little hidden when you come from the main
manuals page [1].  You need to click on the parenthetical "details" link for
each section, which then will give you the link to its PDF.  Once you are on
one of these pages, there is a banner with links to the other details pages.
