That may depend on your pdf reader and how it interacts with the 
particular pdf document. I downloaded the hypercard handbook from Lagi's 
link and in KDE's default pdf reader, Okular, I can search text and 
select and copy it and also set bookmarks. Works really well.

It should be possible without too much sweat and tears to pull the HTML version 
into LC, parse the text, and put it into a searchable and bookmarkable stack.

Surely the 6th title in that collection, by Guy Kawaski, should
provide easy inspiration: maybe a chapter titled "The LC Use List
Curmudgeon" ;-)))

Re: [TOT] Totally Off . . .

[Richmond]

Thank you very much for those.

I have the former one: although the physical book I have is the 4th 
edition and is entitled


The Complete Hypercard 2.2 Handbook

so should be the last version that Goodman wrote, and therefore as up to 
date to the


point when Hypercard stopped being upgraded as possible.

The second link connects to stuff that is specifically linked to 
Macintosh computers, and


at the moment I am working on Hypercard only, not through a wish to 
understand


outdated and outmoded Mac computers (I have about 12 of them stored in 3 
different places


in 3 different countries), but as a start to writing some sort of a book 
about Livecode.


My real book (The Complete . . . ) has labelled bookmarks going back to 
when I was gifted that book in 1999 at the UAE University in Al Ain, 
UAE, when they, overnight, trashed all their Mac computers and replaced 
them with IBM compats running Windows Me, and I had to get to grips with 
Toolbook, and remake lots and lots of HC stack as TB programs.


These bookmarks are useful as they stop me having to spend donkey's ages 
trawling again.

HI Richmond,

Although I have  my dead trees  I always try to find a pdf version of any
paper version I have - as its easier than carrying all those books - but
there is something about flicking through a REAL book.

So here is one  that's been around for ages  on archive.org

https://ia801004.us.archive.org/22/items/The_Complete_HyperCard_Handbook/The_Complete_HyperCard_Handbook_text.pdf

and here are a few more
