Thank you for the feed-back. As a matter of fact, I'm using iBooks Author for the User Manual, as you have noticed already.
About the iBook format:
About the PDF format:
Avenue33, regarding your user manual, I have tried the iBooks app and it has to be the absolutely least feature rich app on the face of the planet. The best that I can say for it is that it is completely useless.
About the iBook format:
- iBooks Author does a nice job to manage table of content, links, glossary, ...
- The iBook format is the recommended format as it brings all the features.
- The iBook format runs on both Mac and iPad, which is handy to free the screen of the Mac.
- Could you please elaborate why iBooks "has to be the absolutely least feature rich app on the face of the planet"?
There are three things that would make the pdf version of your manual MUCH more usable - higher resolution graphics, working links (the ones that are already in the manual) and links to jump over all the platforms that one may not be using.
About the PDF format:
- Improving the resolution is possible, but be ready for a 75 MB download.
- When exporting to PDF, iBooks Author only keeps the external links and kills the internal links.
- When using iBook, the page shown below allows you to jump directly to the platform you're working with.
