I try to cope with the new lack of bookshelves by organizing my PDFs into directories myself. For example I have a directory for \PSF\V4R5 so I can use Adobe Reader Advanced Search to search in just that directory. It's not as good as the old BookManager bookshelves, but it at least lets me search the books for just one product at a time. --Roger On Fri, Dec 19, 2014 at 7:59 AM, Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.) < [email protected]> wrote: > In > <caferoigrylcgrneqrrstd3cpz5k+r74kjzn4otmedhheg-1...@mail.gmail.com>, > on 12/18/2014 > at 05:37 PM, Roger Bolan <[email protected]> said: > > >The documentation itself is available in the new IBM Knowledge Center > >and you can download PDF format for the books. > > Yes, but what tools are available to manage and organize the > downloaded books?
