A surprising and disappointing example is the Apple Publications
Style Guide, which was recommended on Framers the other day.

As a style guide, what it *says* seems quite good. It's a pity no
effort was made to use any features of PDF beyond its "print to
screen" capability -- no links, no TOC, no interactivity.
