I'm looking for documentation for various Apache software in PDF format, so I can read them offline, on my ebook reader, for example. I'm looking especially for the user guides for Velocity and CXF. Any idea?
If your ebook reader has a web browser, you could create a local mirror in html and use that when a PDF version is not available. You can use the GPL tool wget for that:
wget -mk -np
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.5/user-guide.html
wget will preserve all links in a consistent manner.
I finally used an online PDF converter. The result is not perfect, but it's readable...

Does any one know where can I get Mule latest version documentation in PDF format? I have been searching for it, I found chapert-6 Mule entry point resolver sets in PDF format. That means other chapters are also should be there but I couldn't fine myself. Any help is appreciated.
There isn't a pdf version of the documentation yet. If you want you can either save the documentation pages to download the different sections or you can look at the book Mule in Action. For more information you can check out here.
If you have an enterprise license, you can download the complete used guide from customer support portal in PDF format.

I've been programming in common lisp for a while now, and I like how there's so much handy documentation on the language online; the problem is that I'm often offline and can't access it when I need it most.
Is there a PyDoc equivalent for common lisp (or even just man pages for the language) that I can download and use in the shell?
Cheers in advance.
You can download the CLHS and install it in various ways.
http://www.cliki.net/CLHS
that's an old question…
edit: as referenced on the Cookbook, we can read the HyperSpecs offline with either Dash (MacOS), Zeal (GNU/Linux) or Velocity (Windows).
we could ask or add it on devdocs: https://devdocs.io/
and take the data of the CL Ultra Spec: website, data
and of course browse the built-in documentation with Emacs (C-h, see the menu).

I often hack out some Thor, Rake, Bash or even PHP commandline tools. And I want to document the command-line-arguments and variations in a consistent way.
Is there an official, or recommended standard on this documentation?
Like when an option is optional[--foo=bar], or when an option can be one n-values ("yes|no"), etceteras.
I'd rather not come up with my own standard, when there is an official (POSIX?) standard or guide that already lists the do's and don't for documenting tools and applications on CLI's.
I'm not sure what output format you have in mind, but why not use the man-page style? It seems a nice fit for commandline tools.

I'm looking for an online tool I can use to preview MediaWiki markup output.
Here are some examples of what I'm looking for (only these are for reST, not mediawiki):
http://rst.ninjs.org/
http://www.tele3.cz/jbar/rest/rest.html
This arose from a need to preview my README.mediawiki files on github before committing them. See here for details: https://github.com/github/markup
Afaik, you can preview the .mediawiki straight on github: either in it's wiki service (all pages have the “preview” button in the bottom and it have mediawiki as one of its formats), or in the online file editor, it have the “preview” tab near the “code” one.

I want to write a tool that helps me search pdf/chm/djvu files in linux. Any pointers on how to go about it?
The major problem is reading/importing data from all these files. Can this be done with C and shell scripting?
Tracker ships with Ubuntu 8.04 -- it was a significant switch from Beagle which users believed was too resource (CPU) intensive and didn't yield good enough results. It indexes both pdf and chm and according to this bug report it also indexes djvu.
Note that djvu is an image compression format (optimized to compress 'pictures of text', typically the results of scanning). As such, you won't be able to search for text, except in the metadata -this is what the link sent by cdleary refers to-, or if you first use OCR on the document to convert it into text.
The same is true for PDFs which content are scanned articles/books.
How about a plugin for Beagle ?
It already searches PDFs but you can add other file types.
Here is the relevant wikipedia page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_(software)
