How do I search the manual?

[DonGateley]

Thanks, I'll subscribe.

Let's see what happens. We may prefer to host this ourselves, or we may or may not approve giving out your link. Many Dropbox links posted on the Forum seem to fail for one reason or another, so we would definitely want the link to be reliable.

Feel free to copy and use them if you wish. Edit at will. I removed all the silly headers and footers the conversion created.

I notice the links in the image map on the Front Page of your PDF Manual don't work correctly (at least in PDF-XChange viewer) but this is not a surprise.

Likely your viewer. Using Adobe Reader I can't find any links that don't work correctly. I'm rather impressed with the job Adobe did on this feature. Couldn't have been easier once Google showed my how to do it. How did the world work before Google?

I was hoping that you might volunteer
Thanks.

Consider it done. I've subscribed to the release announcements so I'll update the Dropbox files whenever there's a new release. You might want to make sure that documentation releases are sent out via the subscription. Anything else I can do to make it easier, just ask.

It's just an e-mail that announces the release.

When you get that announcement, you will know that the new (HTML) Manual will be in the Windows and Mac installers for that new Audacity release, or can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/audacity/downl ... 2&q=manual .

Thanks for whatever you did. Conversion of a set of Wiki-created HTML pages to a PDF is something of a challenge for any software. That challenge is what has prevented us releasing a PDF version of the Manual so far.

I notice the links in the image map on the Front Page of your PDF Manual don't work correctly (at least in PDF-XChange viewer) but this is not a surprise.

Likely your viewer. Using Adobe Reader I can't find any links that don't work correctly.

As expected, the links in the image map on the front page ("Guide to the Project Window") also don't work correctly in the latest (unpaid) Adobe Reader XI. The same occurs with the image maps on each of the Preferences pages.

In the HTML Manual you can hover over an area of an image map, see a tooltip relating just to that specific part of the interface, then click that part of the image to go to the relevant section in the Manual.

Ah, yes. I see what you mean. I'm not adept enough with PDF to fix it though, darn it. Luckily there doesn't seem to be too much of that kind of thing in the document.

That document is a fine piece of work, BTW. Very complex subject and very well treated. The documentation tradition seems to have become largely passe' so it's really nice to see a good modern example. It seems it has to be a labor of love and not one of profit.

Thanks, exactly
