![]() ![]() ![]() so I only need to print or convert to PDF the last three pages, 7 - 10, which include the actual information on the OOP function that I want to print out or convert to PDF. If I printed the whole thing it would be a total of 10 pages, including 7 pages that are only the repeat of the User Manual Index. See the attached file as an example: in this case I wanted to print or make a PDF of the section on the Out-Of-Pegs function. It is ridiculous to suggest that the user should copy & paste each individual section of the documentation - there are hundreds of sections, with the ten page index repeated in between each section."Įven if the user manually prints each section, and the user's printer interface gives the option to only print a certain range of pages (say out of a total of 10 pages, you only need to print pages 7 - through - 10 ), it doesn't work properly with the way the current TVPaint 11 User Manual is formatted. It is not a competent, professional approach. the whole ten page index repeats in front of every section of the user documentation. "Each section of the Documentation repeats the 10 page index. I don't insist on PDF, but I really expect the documentation of the software being installed physically right beside the software. (And Adobe doesn't ever listen to any complaint.) ![]() But what's the sense in crippling a software for each legitimate user as well? This is not DRM, this is plain nonsense. I could guess that this might have been done to spot copied licences. Instead, several popups indicate that "your database will be updated" and other nonsense, and you only get pages with how-tos of absolutely nothing you'd be interested in, and any search would only lead to posts in user forums. Pressing help would only start a website trying to connect to an Adobe server - but not showing the manual. It worked well, was searchable, and really useful (for all Adobe programs). When they started their CS branding, they abandoned the printed manual, but still included the same concise manual in the installation. In the 90's Photoshop was sold with a printed manual, a really well done piece of information. Adobe is a perfect example of not Bad but Worst Practice. ![]()
