Help on Help!

Hi All,

A lot of hardware / software doesn't come with a printed manual. Some manuals come in PDF, which is OK, but a lot are in just the Help file format. That's the probelm.

Is there any utility / program that can print out the help files in an orderly fashion??? or convert to a PDF? or the like??

Yes, I know that you can print directly from Help, but on a 20 - 30 page help file, especially when each page is only a 1/4 physical page, it sure is a great hassle and waste of paper.

Any ideas??

Thanks !!

Pissed

well i dont really know the help file type but maybe you could select the text (ctrl a works sometimes or click hold and drag and then paste it in word or so (it works from html pages and such even with pics in the text).

Hi grasshopperbe,

The old cut-n-paste methods is pretty much what I'm trying to avoid!! I just don't have that much free time. I'd really like to just run a program that will print it all out.
