For a specialty product we have a similar thing ... select Help and the PDF opens. We include the PDF in the installer. The app looks in a particular location for the PDF. Quite simple.

You could simply include the PDF in the same folder as your app, but we like to put the PDF in a location that a user can access (XP permissions keeping a non-power user out of the Program Files folder) so that the file can easily be replaced if needed.

HTH.

Will.

Hi all,

I'm providing a PDF file of a user guide for an
application. My first thought was to provide a link to
it from the application Help menu.

The question is: what are the technical steps I need
to do to bundle the PDF in with the application? Is it
a matter of just including it on the CD and then
coding a link to it?

Best wishes,

Ron Sering
