Just a suggestion - if you are going to work on producing a better version
of the manual then I would suggest that PDF is NOT the best format. It
does not tend to display well on modern ereader type devices, and does not
support features such as text-flow if font sizes are zoomed. I would
suggest that a format such as epub is better, and failing that the standard
fall back of word format. It is easy enough to create PDF files from these
formats, but going the other way is much harder and sometimes impossible.
If you had a book in epub format then a program such as Calibre can easily
convert it into HTML suitable for use on a web site.
I agree with you. I said PDF just because it's the most accessible format. I
use Pages and LibreOffice (was OpenOffice) on the Mac. If there's a good
ePub tool I can use I would happily use it.
Yes, best to keep to something that is Open Office compatible as the
source file. Just about any other format can be created from that.
Cheers
