Needing PDF Vensim Documents

Post by Monte »

Could anyone give me a link or links to PDF files of Vensim 6 User's Guide and Reference Manual?
There are merely electronic HTML pages, which cannot be read offline in my iPad or highlighted and drawn with a PDF Reader app.

We no longer produce manuals. We had to compromise the help system in order to be able to create paper manuals, but not many people want them (10 per year). So we decided to stop producing them and improve the help instead. All documentation is now electronic and is at http://www.vensim.com/documentation.html

Thank you for your note.

I got a solution, which may help those who need but don't know how to get all the PDF Vensim document.

1. Go to Help in Vensim software.
2. Click each topic, and print it and its subtopics with a PDF printer (e.g., CutePDF Writer).

Alternatively, you can convert the help file (Vensim.chm), which is installed at the directory C:\Users\Public\VensimPLP\, to be a PDF file, by using an online convertor, e.g., SAMSAR. The major advantages of this option are as follows:

1. The front size is much bigger.
2. All Help chapters are printed all at once into a single file (around 1,500 pages).
