I downloaded a FSM for 92-95 civics on PDF and there is no way ive seen to navigate the manual other then scrolling which would take forever to find something. Ctrl+f does not work at all either, any tips on using this? thanks.

Did you check for bookmarks? Example:




Otherwise, use Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert the image document to searchable text.

You might go low tech and write down the page numbers next to each section start.

I usually search for certain phrases when it comes to these types of pdf's.

I don't think all pdf's were setup this way. The ones I downloaded you have to manually search. Too lazy to update my pdf collection but I do just fine by searching for certain words. Takes time but I got use to it.

Hi Ron, I suspect you may have added those Bookmarks years ago with Adobe Acrobat Pro as they are not present by the default download on the interwebs, notice only the Thumbnails and Attachment tangs are on the left unlike yours that has the addition of bookmarks:

I may have converted an image PDF to text and added the convenient bookmarks to the 92-95 Civic manual. I'm willing to e-mail the modified PDF (100 MB) to members who would like to have it. Is 100 MB too big for an e-mail?

I'm str8 dude...my method doesn't bother me much...it keeps my brain cycling.

Yea i cant even search mine, ive tried it a few different ways and wont work.

Hell ill take the modified pdf, way easier then what ive got.

I think it may be a bit too large for most email server settings.

Something like a rapidshare link you can email members might be more effective. You can pull it down after the interest is done.

I'm good with mine on my end, thank you for the offer.

I printed it out double sided at work and have it in two large 3 ring binders and then I have getting fairly familiar with the sections and know to look for the corner icons as I scroll through it.

Would you mind PM'ing me more details?

Nice, would like this pdf for 97 cx

i thought about doing this as well, maybe printing off and putting the pages in the laminated sleeves with a little tab for each section then putting all in a tough 3 ring binder.

I get frustrated with mine since I cannot search thru the PDF, being able to look up a word would make using it way, way easier.

RapidShare is no longer in business after MegaUpload got taken down by the Copyright police.

However it looks like a service to sort of email large files up to 8 gig for free is in operation...

Or if that isn't free or such, wetransfer seems to be an editors favorite:

Or it also looks like you can use your OneDrive account to send large files to people.... That's probably the route I would use.

Ummm, you might want to rethink that. I used work as you are talking about 3-4 reams of paper when printing double sided.

Check out the photo below of my two binders which is the one single 92 FSM manual.

I used work as it would print double sided for me without issue, cost them the paper and toner. Also the printer at work 3 hole punched the pages for me. I only had to double (front and back) ring the holes of the first 3 and last 3 pages of each note book to help prevent page rip out.



And remember, every page is double sided and the books are that thick.

Megaupload did get their domain taken away after the owners violated some documentary's copyright.

There are other non-torrent file sharing sites, though.
