Im not a fan of working out of browsers, I like to have a physical copy on my desktop that I can refer to instantly or even print out. The 'Octane for Cinema 4D manual' is a great manual and ive tried to download it as a PDF but it only takes the current page, eve considered spending days compiling it back into an E-book but before I do I thought id ask if someone else has not done it already?

If you have a link for the 'Octane for Cinema 4D Manual' please can I have it?


Thanks

Yeah man, its a really great piece of info. Id use it all the time. I might try printing it into a book

I found a rip of each HTML page but its a big mess, it need some page organizing app to assemble it as a PDF but id have to learn how and im struggling enough with C4D.

The next best thing I figured was to put the manual bookmark everywhere, like the favorites bar in each browser on both computers and my devices/iPad.

If I compile it ill share :)

I will take a look, but much work is involved in regard to formatting for PDF, as well as image scaling and support.

Hi Arthur and Jayroth2020

The convert to PDF does work but not as we want and I explain why: When Octane first came out, no doubt someone made the manual as one document or HTML but as the program expanded and updated they split the manual document up into the sections that get updated for easy updating of the manual. The PDF button does work but only on the one HTML page thats opened. The current manual is 70 different HTML pages i believe. Like Arthur said, organizing a PDF documents is probably a hassle, I certainly dont know how to do it.
