First, make sure they don't already offer an download in zip form or similar.
Then, make sure you are actually allowed to do this (this may depend on where you live, and on any conditions mentioned on the web site from where you want to pull this).
Then, have a look at the Wget tool. It is part of the GNU system, thus included in many Linux distributions, but also available for Windows and Mac, I suppose.
Something like this works for me:
wget --no-parent --recursive --level inf --page-requisites --wait=1 \
https://epaul.github.io/jsch-documentation/simple.javadoc/
(without the line break; it should be escaped by the \ backslash here).
Look up what each option does in the manual before trying this.
If you want to do this repeatedly, look into the --mirror option.
For downloading other websites, --convert-links might also be useful, but I found that is not needed for Javadocs, which usually have the correct absolute and relative links.
This downloads lots of the same copy of the index.html file with appended ?... names (for the FRAMES links on each page). You can remove these files after downloading by adding the --reject 'index.html\?*' option, but they still will be downloaded first (and checked for recursive links). I did not yet find out how to avoid downloading them at all. (See this related question on Server Fault.)
Maybe adding the right recursion level would help here (I didn't try).
After downloading, you might want to zip the resulting directory to take less disk space. Use the zip tool of your choice for this.

The internet connection in my location is not consistent. Sometimes I can't consulting the docs for my studies. I wish a PDF version to save or even to print to continues my studies, but i'm not finding a modern version of java documentation. help
Sorry for my bad english
This might be an unpopular opinion. I have not done much reading into this topic within this subreddit. However, I just wanted to note from my personal experience that when running into a confusing concept or forgetting concepts in general, whenever I referenced Oracle's Java documentation, it never let me down. I am currently writing an Android application using Java, and it has been so helpful. This is for the next person who needs a reference point.
You need to specify the docs/api subdirectory of the unpacked documentation or use https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/ URL for the external documentation feature to work.
File -> Project Structure... then here :

I'm using 10.5.4. It was unclear to me from the docs or from resources online that you need to add this at Project Structure > SDK's > (Choose your SDK) > Documentation Paths > Specify URL.
