Aha! So you *do* have the ability to create PDFs!
Create, or read? This linux box has a text-only display, so I can't
display pdfs on-screen. In theory I could run ghostscript to print them
on my LW2 (or can, once I've repaired it...[1]), but I don't have
ghostscript installed (and I am termianly short of disk space), and
transfering full-page bitmaps to said printer takes many minutes...
As I said before, for many manuals, it would actually take me less time
to rediscover the info from the hardware than to print the darn thing.
[1] I know the fault. It's a dried-up capacitor on the protection PCB. I
almost certainly have a replacement in the junk box. I just need to get a
round tuit...

That's
too easy, I ran Linux on a 486 for years.
I still am...
