Owner's Manual Format

A lot of "manuals" that I have on CD are just pdf files anyway. So, as
long as you have it in pdf format anyway, it's just as easy to put it on
your website. Alternatly, start a Yahoo group and post the manual in
the "Files" section. Provide a link to the Yahoo group on your website.
This way you don't pay for downloaded bytes like you might from your ISP.

Produce the CD. Produce the printed manual. Produce the website download.
You want to calculate the cost of the stuff you recommend? More than the cost
of producing the print manual to start with.


I don't have a lot of experience producing CDs, but I can tell you that
generating and posting a .pdf to the Internet is a 15 minute job. If you don't
have the bandwidth on your own site, there are some excellent archive sites
(some free) that you can bookmark from your own webpage. As for generating
.pdfs, my HP all-in-one machine does that, or you can buy any of several $39.95
.pdf suites. Also, I understand that Open Office (free) will generate a .pdf.

This is not a big deal!
