Currently I have a website made in Joomla that contains documentation about some software (LogicalDOC) in 3 languages.
http://help.logicaldoc.com/
I need to convert the various sections in the corresponding PDF manuals.
So Installation Guide should be converted in a PDF, as well as the other sections: Users Guide, Administrator Guide and Workflow Guide (in the top menu).
I would like to know if there is a software or a different way (plugin) to convert the website in PDF
with navigation menu and possibly also to have the document in CHM format.
I have found a plugin ebook Factory
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/print-a-pdf/19294
but since it's for Joomla 3 and the website to convert uses an older version I can't try it.
The easiest way is to use (sniping tool) on windows or equivalent tool on your platform and take snapshot pictures of the manual Pages. If you can turn your screen 90 degrees to portrait mode then the format of the pages will look better than widescreen. If you want to include Navigation i think you will need a Full Version of Acrobat or Similar
Free Online tool to turn a collection of JPG pictures into a PDF file.
http://www.convert-jpg-to-pdf.net/
for CHM search the Net to see if you can find a free pdf to chm converter.

I am looking for some online editor which provides drag and drop features to build the HTML code for text boxes, buttons, radio, tables etc.
Please help me is there is any website available for this like a Dream viewer?
What you are looking for is Bootstrap Studio, this is the description from their home page :
It comes with a large number of built-in components, which you can
drag and drop to assemble responsive web pages. The app is built on
top of the hugely popular Bootstrap framework, and exports clean and
semantic HTML.
I don't think there is any services that supports what you want (from what I've guessed when you say "drag and drop features"). Most of these online IDE sites that supports these features tries to sell you their services by publishing and broadcasting the entire webpage for you. Most online HTML IDE are only code based.
Regardless, I still strongly recommend Adobe Dreamweaver. It's quite versitile with drag and drop features to a certain margin. It also requires coding but its template is quite straight forward, code-wise, and visually appealing.
If you still want to give it a try, however, there is a life hack. This article may help you. You can try building the webpage on wix and then exporting HTML.

I'm still new to loading data. I know there's a method to load multimedia files onto HTML using the <object> tag but that only applies for the common file types like PDF.
Is there a way to load PDB (Protein Data Bank) files onto HTML and display the results? Like the actual molecules.
Do I need WebGL to display it? It would be good to at least display the molecules.
I don't have any experience of the PDB file format but at a guess there's no native support for this format in browsers. You'll probably have to load the file (via an AJAX call) and manually parse it with JavaScript. If you're lucky someone else has already written a parser in JavaScript. You'll then need to display that data in meaningful way, plain text/2d canvas/3d canvas etc. If you're super lucky, someone will have written the whole thing for you.
I just did a quick Google search for "protein data bank javascript renderer" and found https://biasmv.github.io/pv/. If you click through to the GitHub page you can see they mention PDB files a few times so it seems you're in luck.

Some time back I used Android studio's UI designer. I liked it a lot since it allows drag and drop of components like buttons/inputs/widget. More importantly,
we can edit the properties of existing UI component like ID/Size/Visibility using its UI pane(see right of the image). This reduces the changes of errors because we dont need to edit it directly into XML file. Also its quite fast.
I am now working now on an web application and need to design HTML page. Could you suggest any software which provides any of the two feature mentioned above for HTML.
Thanks
Online
Mobirise
Bootstrap Studio
Square Space
Wix
Idk about desktop apps, But since adobe is always perfect, I think DreamWeaver will surely support that.

I've been searching lately for different way to present a user manual that is easy to use and understand.
At first, I tought that the Microsoft Help files would be great, since I knew my way around basic HTML. Little did I knew that Microsoft Help Workshop was a bit more complicated than simply taking HTML and processing it. I had multiple problem while trying to ajust the different styles and classes applied to my HTML.
What would be the best tool to use to convert an existing HTML project (HTML, CSS and basic Javascript) to a compiled .CHM file?
If it is not possible, what option would be worth exploring when making maintainable user manuals?
Thanks.
I would explore using pandoc to convert your html or markdown to docbook or pdf, or any of 100s of other formats.
There are various tools available to do that. Few noteworthy are: nDoc or DocBook or FAR HTML or doxygen or Microsoft's SandCastle

we are planning to write our software documentation in Markdown, but to provide a clickable webview we need to convert the Markdown documents to a nice looking set of HTML pages.
In our workflow we tend to write the documentation and deliver the documenation together with the sourcecode and binaries to our clients. I found a lot off 1-page convert to html programs, but i am wondering if there is a good converter that takes markdown pages and styling elements and is able to convert that to a workable site, including navigation elements such as sub-pages etc?
Is this an end-user documentation or an API-documentation for developers?
For first case I'd suggest looking at Wiki software with Markdown support.
For second case, you should really mention which programming language.
You should check out Gollum. It's the software that powers Github's wikis. It converts a git repository of text files into a wiki.
Here is a blog that introduces several tools that maintain documentation with Markdown. ScreenSteps seems to fit you the best.
