It wasn't 'designed'. Someone just scanned it to a pdf format. That's why you can't search on it or anything. That's why I do all of the how2's in Word & then convert to pdf.

The Army pays big bucks for electronic manuals to be done right. It's money well spent.

BTW Mr. Rocket - No thanks on the paper copy. I appreciate what you're doing but me & paper don't mix when I'm up to my elbows in grease & oil.

Well, I'm not sure which manual you are talking about, but I am talking about the horrible Isuzu released manual, the "MY2000 Isuzu VehiCROSS Retail CD". The one you can install and then search in. It just sucks REALLY HARD. While you can search, the graphics are extremely poor, even when zoomed, the middle mouse scroller does not work in the application, and the search function and the way the data is presented also sucks, not to mention the wait time you have to endure every time it needs to spin up the CD, since a local hard drive install is not available.

Soooo, what you are saying is that you would rather get grease and oil all over your computer than on a piece of paper???

Sorry, had to raz you there, Tom!

Bart,

I'm not familiar with the manual you mentioned. CrotchScratcher ... I mean CrotchRocket is talkin bout the pdf you can download here. Not sure if it's worth printing anyway considering that they scanned it at a VERY low resolution ... but ... his choice.

Razzing forgiven considering that you are the only 'puter dweeb I know that has one in his garage. I just print throw away copies of the pages I need.

Tom, I am talking about the manual on CD you can download here.

The other manual is the printable PDF version. I believe they are both the same, only the PDF manual opens in Acrobat and the CD manual has an actual install and a program interface that you can use to search and view sections.

I printed the PDF manual for my binders because neither of them are very user friendly when you are knee deep in grease. The printed graphics are actually fairly decent, imo. I used the timing belt section of the manual quite a bit when I did that service. And yes, I do have a PC in the garage. Doesn't everyone?

NO,... but I do have a 36 inch with surround sound so I can watch the races

I'm personally prefer this http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...warticle&id=20 PDF when digging into my car (and it should look great when printed). I'm sure I uploaded searchable version of this http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...warticle&id=19 few month ago, but it seems like it is still under moderation.
