This page provides links to PDF and PostScript versions of the
HDF documentation set. These versions, derived from the
original HTML documnents, are intended to provide the following
features:
<ul>
<li>A copy that can be reasonably printed in a single print operation.
<li>An easily searchable copy. (The PDF files can be searched using
the Adobe Acrobat Reader with Search, Version 3.1 or later. See
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html"
target="ADOBE">Adobe's website</a>.)
</ul>
<p>
Note that these versions were created in response to user feedback;
the HDF Group is eager to hear from HDF and HDF5 users so that we
can better meet our users' needs. Send comments, requests, and
bug reports to the HDF Help Desk at
