This page provides links to PDF and PostScript versions of the
|
|
HDF documentation set. These versions, derived from the
|
|
original HTML documents, 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
