Rob,

it basically means whenever you have a cross reference in the manual,
you want to be able to click on it, and jump to the relevant
page/subsection.

Peer,

So a person reading the electronic manual can see the referenced page and scroll or go to that page number as well?

If that is the case I think that hyper links would be nice but NOT necessary. When you use a hard copy manual you have to turn to
the new page!

Rob,

Typing in the page number is always possible. The link magic is, that
you click on the reference and it jumps to it without the need to type
anything.

Peer,

Great!

There is something that is neat about the .pdf manuals on Bdub's website, you can highlight text, copy, and paste it. It is copied
as text not an image.

I find that very handy when I'm trying to answer a question to help someone.

It is very nice, also for searching. The scanner and software that I use
does the OCR thingie as well, so not only do the PDFs contain the
scanned picture, but also the detected text.
