Are the SX/B help files available in PDF format? (Mac user)

The help file is currently available only in Windows CHM format -- let me see if I can do something about that (no promises, it's all manually coded HTML).

Hi Jon,

That would be excellent if a PDF version of the manual was available, as I like to have a printed version
for reference as I do most of my coding on the train !

Many thanks
Tony

Well, I tried to PDF right from the Help file and the results were horrible. So, here's the deal. We're updating the SX/B help file anyway for version 1.2 (about a month out) so I will manually create a (simple) PDF of it for that release. Sorry to make you wait, I just have a TON of work in front of me these days.

Hi Jon,

I did a quick Google search for a CHM to PDF converter and I managed to create a very good PDF
but the hotlinks on the Commands section did not come through. Rather than you creating a seperate PDF
of the manual, this kind of conversion might be the way to go - It only took me minutes to download the program
and convert the help file.

I'll keep looking for a package that will do a better conversion and let you know which one works. You could then use
it and produce a PDF available for all. What do you think ?

Thanks for the feedback, but I think I'll stick with my original plan. I'm rebuilding the help file anyway, so it will be cleaner to create a Word version that can be properly converted to a PDF.
