online manual (in game) not showing

Post by tiger111 »

On the startup page there is an option to view the handbook or the players manual. If I click on either of these all I get is a blank page within notebook.(much later becomes a page of data)

Do I need to d/load a separate program ie Adobe acrobat or similar. I`m using Win 7. Thankyou.

They are pdf documents so I think you need Adobe Acrobat.

Yes, you need the free Acrobat Reader to view PDF files. All of our digital manuals are PDF E-books.

While I don't want to make any hard recommendations, I use SumatraPDF as a lighter-weight alternative if you just need a simple reader.
