A way to create a separate PDF viewing page?
Not sure I understood all of your plan, but we have a tool called Nautilus that allows people to build a zim file out of a list of documents (PDF, but also docx, videos, etc.). One prime example would be this survival collection.

Creating ZIM files for Kiwix by myself?
r/kiwix would be the place to ask, but at the end of the day it all comes down to heading out to openzim.org (or the corresponding github repo) and figuring it out. You can either grab zimit and run it locally, or access all the libraries that will help you build your own scraper (Nautilus will assemble documents and videos into a single file library, MWoffliner will do for wikis, youtube will do YouTube, etc.).
