I did what bpfx suggested:i.e. use IMGBurn to burn the image onto a blank CD and got an .iso file on the CD. This is on a PC running Windows XP (media center edition, equivalent to Professional, I think).

I would expect to be able to open this iso file by double-clicking it in Windows explorer, but Windows explorer would not open it. I tried opening it with MS Word, Adobe reader, etc. ..the usual windows stuff but no success.

I can extract this iso file into various pdf files using ISOBURN into a directory on the hard drive, and then I can open the resulting files with adobe reader. However, this does not work well as there are over 100 individual files (showing individual pages, chapters), and the contents contain cross references among all these files. The cross references does not work.

I would like to, and expect to be able to open this one iso file (the manual) somehow as one entity to read it, so that chapters and cross references would work. If this iso file can be turned into one pdf file like a normal pdf document, it may work.

Any help, directions and experience will be much appreciated.
