EAGLE PDF files without links

Sometimes, a real (physically available) software manual is REALLY

useful. In absence of such a thing, CadSoft delivers the manuals as PDF

files, which would be MUCH more useful if they weren't just completely

functionless:

  1. Looking into the table of contents. Ah, THAT's the chapter I need.

     It's on page 215. Fine.

  2. Just CLICK in the page number. Erm, doesn't work. OK, then click

     on the chapter TITLE. Erm, doesn't work, either.

  3. OK, so I REALLY have to SCROLL through the whole document, look at

     all the page numbers myself and... Gosh!

  4. Takes 20 seconds and a lot of concentration instead of 1 click.

     Frustrating...

 

Please export your PDF manuals INCLUDING links. Decent office programs

should be able to do this. I'm sure your LibreOffice can also do that

somehow. You only have to learn ONCE how to do that (I myself don't use

that suite, so I just don't know).

    nice.
