Parasolid Documentation: PDF Format

Viewing the PDF files

As well as HTML, the entire Parasolid documentation set is available as a set of PDF files for online viewing or printing. Unlike HTML, PDF files are page-based, so they are particularly suitable for printing. PDF files also provide you with a navigable table of contents and index, and hyperlinked cross references, so they are also well-suited to viewing online.

The PDF version of the Parasolid documentation requires Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing. If you already have V3 or above of Acrobat Reader installed, then just click any of the links below to read the corresponding manual.

Obtaining Adobe Acrobat Reader

You need a copy of the free Acrobat Reader program from Adobe Systems Inc. to view the PDF documentation.

A version that runs on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 is supplied on the Parasolid Documentation CD. To install this on your computer:

Place the Parasolid Documentation CD in your CD-ROM drive (hold down the Shift key if you want to prevent the documentation from displaying while you do this).
Run the file X:\acroread\ar405eng.exe, where X is the drive your CD is mounted on.

If you use a UNIX-based operating system, or if you want to install a non-English version of Acrobat Reader, you can download a version free of charge from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html.
