Combined manual into one file

[jvaitkus]

I was on the FIRST website downloading the manual, but when I click on the "2008 Pneumatics Manual" link under Section 8 (The Robot), it says that "the webpage cannot be found." Has anyone found a different link to get to it? or knows anything about why it wont load?

The sensor and pneumatics URLs are malformed. Just manually strip off everything before the second http:// and they should work.

I can understand why FIRST wouldn't like mirroring or modifications (compilations) of the manual. Any inaccurate or out of date manual would be a major headache and potentially unfair to some teams.

Thats nice but not exactly what I wanted what i want to do is be able to go from chapter one to chapter two without opening a new window. I think you need full blown version of adobe to do that and I do not have that.

There's no need to go out and buy the [horribly] overpriced Adobe Acrobat Pro software, when you can do it for free.

If you know anyone who has a Mac, when you open the PDF files in Preview, you can drag and drop more PDF files onto the current document and it'll automatically append them as additional pages. Then you just save the current PDF, and it's done. Now you have one PDF with everything.

If you have Microsoft Office 2007 with the free pdf creator add in, you could copy each file into a Word document and then export it as a pdf.

At work we use PDF Split and Merge to combine PDFs. It's freely available software that you can download here

We're lightyears ahead of all ya'll. Printed the entire manual as an easy reference, not my idea. Weighs a ton, and revisions could prove fatal to the printer and the schools ink costs.
