Arcpad 10 Users Manual

[DougMelton]

Does anyone know how to print out a hard copy of the users maual?  A 30-minute call to bumfuzzle Asia resulted in no help.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?  My field crew is learning how to use ArcPad 10 and I want them to have the Users manual in the field.

Where, exactly, are you folks seeing an ArcPad 10 User Manual?

I kinda thought there wasn't one, yet, really...(just the "Help" menu so far)

You can print out the user manual in steps by right clicking the different headings

Getting Started
Reference Guide
etc... in the ArcPad Help

and select print and check the option to write out the heading and subtopics.

I guess that'll work...the folks at the office will just love me tying up the printer while I'm doing this. Seems silly since just about every other user manual on the planet comes as a .pdf (yes, that's a gripe!).

If you have Adobe Professional or PDF Writer or similar you could print to a pdf file thus creating your pdf file.

Fair enough...we don't have the Adobe software handy but the PDF Creator seems to be helpful.

Thanks for the tip!

Still doesn't let ESRI off the hook for a proper manual, though (some folks are just never satisfied!).

I do have Adobe Pro but printing out each topic is ridiculous.  Also Adobe changed the text to gibberish in the pdf.  I was hoping someone had already fumbled through this.  Oh well.

Hi all,

You asked for PDF version of ArcPad 10 Help and ArcPad team listened. We have placed a PDF version of ArcPad 10.0.2 Help on ArcPad Gallery on Resource Center site, http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/arcpad. If you have other Ideas you would like to be considered, please post these on the ArcGIS Ideas site so they can be discussed and voted on by other ArcPad users, http://ideas.arcgis.com.

Enjoy!

The PDF version isn't working for me. Is this the case for anyone else? Other PDF's from the website unzip fine.
