Hey Charlie,

Mendix does support document download functionalities, and you can also generate a template that is downloadable. However this is a different file than the webpage, so you need to build this separately. More information about the document template can be found here: https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/document-templates/

I also saw there is a module on the marketplace, I've not used it myself but you can give it a try: https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/27069
