Is there a PDF manual available for the new beta of v2.5?

Do you have a resource to have them printed professionally or at least better than kinko's?

How good is Lulu's print quality?

No, as far as I know. In fact the v2.5 CHM documentation is no final yet. But hey.. googling (CHM to PDF converter) there are a lot of tools. I'm sure we'll have a pdf soon when the docs are final.

No as far as I know... you can print it where you consider the best for you.

I've bought some Lulu's books and are pretty nice so far.

The PDF manual isn't available yet, as well as the v2.5 manual isn't ready yet. We plan to have a different PDF manual than the electronic version as in: we'll have different PDF manuals: one with all docs, and 2 with either selfservicing or adapter material.

That will be great!

Just a note on the PDF's. Can you embed the font. I tried to upload the v2 PDF to Lulu for a hardback book $27 for B&W or $75 for Color. Unfortunately it says the PDF does not have the fonts embedded. I tried re saving it with Acrobat and then printing out using Distiller but neither seemed to work for me, but it could be user error as I don't use either of those programs too often.

Update: I tried again this morning and was able to embed the fonts and upload it for printing. I've attached the updated file to this message. If it's ok to upload the new file here let me know and I will post it asap.

The pdf is currently generated from the .chm file using a tool (chmtopdf) so there's not much I can do about font embedding. I think what's wrong with the font is that it's Arial which is called 'Helvetica' on macs. I think it simply refers to Arial which is unknown on macs, however I find it odd that lulu.com complaints about such a trivial thing.

It is odd indeed. I did get it uploaded after printing it through Adobe Distiller but it looked altered.

I just printed it on our color laser in the office. It took a good while. You guys put a lot of information in there :-D but that is great.
