Tinderbox can do documentation. Documentation for Script Debugger (v4+) and
Affrus, to name a couple, are written in Tinderbox. Meanwhile, this:
   http://www.acrobatfaq.com/tb_manual/tinderbo.html
is a proof of concept for the TB's own manual based on a TBX document. The
structure mirrors the current Word-authored PDF but could be more flexible
if re-structured for TBX. The joy of the latter is it allows for
context-sensitive help.

On balance, the author gains more from the PDF than the user (compared to
other formats) as a PDF is restrictive by design - a digital facsimile of a
paper (page) product.

I never did a print-export track for the above p-o-c as no one seemed
interested but I'm sure one TBX could be easily updatable whilst offering
both richly cross-linked digital content output and nicely formatted
dead-tree text output using two different sets of templates.
