There is a language spec in PDF form here: <
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-408.pdf>.
The docs you referenced are available as Markdown on GitHub here: <
https://github.com/dart-lang/site-www>. It looks like they used Jekyll to
create the docs so you could try Jekyll PDF <
https://github.com/abeMedia/jekyll-pdf> to convert pages one at a time.
With a bit of scripting, you could crawl the entire site and convert each
page to PDF.

By the way, searching for "Flutter documentation PDF" led me to an
interesting slide deck PDF here: <
https://droidcon.de/sites/global.droidcon.cod.newthinking.net/files/media/documents/Flutter%20-%2060FPS%20UI%20of%20the%20future%20%20-%20DroidconDE%2017.pdf
