Downloading SAP-Help

[former_member197351]

In the past I downloaded some PDF-Files from SDN, SAP-Help and so on, for example the "SAP NetWeaver Developer’s Guide - Running an Enterprise Portal" (Mai 2006). It includes all the chapter content from SAP-Help.

So I can search in the PDF and I have it full text indexed with some other Guides. As another point I can read it offline in train and at a customer, were I don't have access to the internet.

During the last months I recognized that many PDF documents become older and older but I cannot find new versions of it (Additional Information -> SAP Print Files on SAP-Help doesn't offer much). So does anyone know a suitable resource to find these guides (extracts from Sap-Help) or does anyone have a trick how to create a PDF or something similar from Help-Entries?

I already tried out some web-page download tools, but they all haven't worked as I want: no pics, download of first level only or download of really toooo much(!) contet. I don't want to install the complete Help-Entries on my notebook, because Disk-Space is low and I only need some extracts (for example the chapter Running an Enterprise Portal).

Perhaps there will be a "create PDF"-function as it is at SAP-notes? Does anyone have informations if there is something like this planned?

Best regards,

Christian

Hi,

you can install the SAP Library either as plain HTML version or as HTMLHelp version on your laptop. The HTMLHelp version also includes search and structure print capabilities. To install the SAP Library you need the documentation DVD which customers can download (open this link http://www.sap.com/company/shop and use the material number of the documentation DVD that you find in the SAP Help Portal) or order in the SAP Knowledge Shop for Customers and Partners. Everybody else can order a copy in the SAP Knowledge Shop. (http://www.sap.com/company/shop)

A further advantage of a local installation is that you can update your local copy to the Support Package Stack level you actually have installed. Please use the documentation patches available under http://service.sap.com/maintenanceNW70.

In the new single point of entry for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 documentation in the Help Portal (http://help.sap.com/nw70 - it is live since yesterday) you have direct links for downloading or ordering the SAP Library.

best regards
