User Manual?
Getting down to the dirty business of learning this stuff and one thing I really miss is the user manual. Is there one? Or is it reading through the pages and pages of help documents?
Sometimes I just like to print the reading material and soak it all in. Guess I’m one of the few who RTFM.

It’s sort of burried…but Gerry Found it. I have a copy of the PDF on my desktop and am now starting to read.

When you click on a manual, you get online help. It would be nice if there is a downloadable PDF. The workaround I used: In the upper right hand corner, click on the printer icon and select: Book – Final Cut Pro Help. Instead of my printer, I selected Bull Zip printer, which is a utility to print to PDF. I now have a PDF file which I will sync to my iPad.”

For those who are interested.

You mean you literally printed it? Is there no pdf available? Jeez.

I spend 10 hours of my day minimum in front of a screen so I prefer to read it on paper… I did print double sided.
It is available as a PDF if you “print” to PDF.

But it’s not a pdf – it’s a help file. When I choose print to pdf it creates a pdf of only the cover page. If there’s a trick I’m missing I’d appreciate knowing.
Thanks!

Took me a while, but I found it!
Thank you

Okay, so now I have a pdf of the help file, but the links within it are disabled and there’s no index. For crying out loud, is apple going to give us a manual?!
