If you want an interactive document, then there's little, if anything, that can touch Mathematica. If you want a more-or-less static document, then the gold standard in the mathematical community, and in a good part of the scientific community, is LaTeX. You can include any Mathematica-produced graphic there by exporting it as EPS. And LaTeX documents today typically wind up as PDF, with embedded hyperlinks and even animation and some interactive effects.
