Ah, that's what I needed to know.  I copied the PDFs onto my hard disk, but 
need to find and copy the index.

Incidentally, I printed out the parts catalog for BO/BR yesterday using 
Acrobat Reader 6.0 and was extremely pleased with the quality of the 
printing.

You can actually see the smoothing algorithms at work when you expand or 
shrink the displayed document.  As you change magnification, the graphics 
come up full of jaggies and warts, and then the smoothing kicks in and the 
picture or text becomes very clear.  There's also a 'shapshot' feature, 
which I suspect would be useful for emailing a drawing (or a page from the 
parts catalog) to a friend.  Not that anyone would dream of infringing on JD 
copyrights by doing so...

I take it that JD never got around to putting their service manuals on CD, 
but that you can order an individual manual on CD directly from Deere?  I'd 
like to have that SM 2004 that was discussed earlier this week.  I've 
suddenly developed an interest in Bs, and the I&T manual covering the A, B, 
G and H is pretty slim.  The beauty of having it on CD is that you can print 
out just the pages you need, and if they get dirty, you haven't damaged an 
expensive manual.
