OK, so I get that it's not in vogue to include manual with software
anymore, but Adobe's really dropping the ball. I just upgraded to eLearning
Suite which contains a plethora of CS4 products (Captivate, Acrobat,
Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc.() and the more I get into it the more
disappointed I become. Now, I am the type that wants a paper manual. I read
them, Cover to cover, and I really think my productivity is better because
I do. In this case the help files seem to be the only manuals so I decided
to grab the PDF copies and print my own. No biggie, I get how it saves
costs and paper â but for crying out loud as the maker of the
market-leading document single-source software, and actually having a
product called the technical communication suite, paginate for output! I
don't want something that looks like I printed the help file, I want the
help file to look like a book when I print it. Harumph!

Grumpier than ever with Adobe.
