Downloadable Documentation

Post by mikesg »

Is it possible to get the documentation in PDF format? I didn't see it on the site but I'm hoping yes as it's fairly standard these days to have such a thing.

AFAIK ... the manuals are not available in PDF format, you can purchase additional manuals at only $15 each. Considering that the manual is over 450 pages for V.10, its cheaper than printing it off.

FWIW ... much of the manual is included in the help functionality of the program.

If it costs you more than $15 to print 450 pages then you need a better copier contract. ;)

And who said I wanted to print it out? I like less paper (or manuals) on my desk and would happily read it on my monitor when I need to. I vote to make a PDF of it. I can't really think of anyone else off hand who doesn't already do this.

If you want to read the manual on the screen, go to Help > Contents.

Minus the screenshots, 90% of the print manual is there.

Sort of. Manuals per se are not available for many of their products, but there are so many best practice, white paper, or howto's in word format available from them it mitigates the need somewhat.

I will use the included Help then Zorak, thank you.

There are a lot of those sort of supplemental documents in our searchable Knowledge Base. http://www.powerchurch.com/search. If you do a keyword search, you will get returns from the Knowledge Base, Tales From Tech 2 (our periodical newsletter), and our online demos, as appropriate.

Of course, this forum has a search feature too, and there has been a lot of information posted over the years.
