Some time ago, I created a version of gapmacro.tex which added hyperlinks and used standard fonts in the pdf manuals. I've just used it on the GAP 4.4 manuals and wrapped up the result:

http://www.icm.tu-bs.de/~bhoeflin/gap/pdfmanuals.tar.bz2

Download the archive into the GAP directory (containing doc, lib, etc.) and uncompress – it will replace  the old manual.pdf, manual.six and manual.toc files for all four manuals. (Be sure to make a backup copy of the doc diretory first!)

Please let me know if there are any problems.

Cheers
