Arvol,
printing to pdf for electronic consumption of course
. I´ve been in the Netherlands recently and can confirm the great network coverage - unfortunately it´s not the same over here. Since I´m traveling quite a bit in my day job, I can only talk about the experience I have. Also: when going overseas, I don´t have too much luck with the onboard WiFi, more often than not it doesn´t work for me. But anyways.
I don´t see why searching a pdf is in any way harder than searching online, but it´s much harder to search in many pdfs than in a single one. So yes, that single page option might be a happy middleground. Text only might not be the greatest option for a software manual with screenshots, so let me try a few things first.
But I repeat: if the price for getting a full pdf is: AcdNrg needs to compile one at every release, I´d happily volunteer to do that for free. It would be helpful to do that from a better source format than .html, so if the resolume team is interested, let me know.
