Perhaps we could get Poeee to host it up for members to download.

That sort of thing should be a sticky.

What format is it? If it was a PDF then it would be fairly small and easy to work.
:D

Can you PDF them? Hopefully it would be as simple as a batch print, say in groups of 15 or 20 pages. I do the manuals for some of our heavy machinery at work, PDFs are great for minimal size and ease of distribution.

I think you just set your default printer to "PDF" and just print as you would normally. Instead of printing it creates a PDF file.

It will be time consuming to say the least.
The PDF writer appears as a printer on your computer. Anything you can print is an instant conversion. So if running WinXP take a group of Jpegs, hit the print, select PDF and there they go. You'll have to find a freebie and download it.
If adobe dont have anything, try deskPDF.

And if you get real stuck, whack em on a CD and send em to me. If I find the time I'll do it at work. 8)
