PDF Version

DataDirect product documentation is also provided in PDF format, which allows you to view it, perform text searches, or print it. You can view the PDF documentation using the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The PDF documentation is available on the product CD and also on the DataDirect Technologies Web site:

http://www.datadirect.com/techres/odbcproddoc/index.ssp

You can download the entire library as a compressed file. When you uncompress the file, it appears in the correct directory structure.

If you want to copy the documentation library from the product CD, you must maintain the same directory structure that is on the CD.

To copy all product books, copy the entire \books directory to your local or network drive.
To copy a specific set of books, copy that book's directory structure (beneath the \books directory) to your local or network drive. For example, in the case of:

\books\odbc64

you would copy the entire \odbc64 directory.

Maintaining the correct directory structure allows cross-book text searches and cross-references. If you download or copy the books individually outside of their normal directory structure, their cross-book search indexes and hyperlinked cross-references to other books will not work. You can view a book individually, but it will not open other books to which it has cross-references.

To help you navigate through the library, a file named books.pdf is provided. This file lists each online book provided for the product. We recommend that you open this file first and, from this file, open the book you want to view.
