Where is the Live 12 manual in PDF-format?

Post by fetito666 » Tue Mar 05, 2024 4:00 pm

One quick question:

Where is the Live 12 manual in PDF-format?

I only find the Live 11 manual.

I prefer to print this instead of using the Live 12-HTML version.

Thank you!

in the Docs folder of your Live 12 install.

It is no longer linked in Ableton Live itself.

Thank you. The file I found is for Ableton 11.2.10. Is the PDF-manual still in progress?

Yes, a new Live 12 version will be coming soon with correct links to the right manual.

Any chance that we can access it from Live, without an internet connection (as it was in the past)?
I prefer to keep my DAW offline and a button to launch it is better than a system folder IMO

I also really would like the Live 12 manual in PDF-format. I like to highlight sections of the PDF on my Mac. Not having the file has discouraged me from learning live 12. Please Ableton!

I remember looking for a pdf version months ago and there wasn't one available for download on the website. People said 'Live 12 is new, the manual is a work in progress!' meanwhile it's like this isn't the 1990s and printing a hardcover book or something, you can release new pdf each time there is a revision or update... no reason not to have pdf manual for 900 dollar program and having to 'be online' every time you want to look up some tiny little detail. As well there is no search in the HTML manual? come on what gives here just give us the pdf Ableton... i really don't get it.

I believe you'd be better off pestering them on their social media channels, where it has more visibility.

Here's a bit too niche IMO. Not many Ableton staff here.

It’s also being discussed in this gigantic thread.
Ableton is aware, and rest assured I’m very regularly bumping the topic to the team. I know it’s not much and it doesn’t help anyone who needs this .pdf, but at least you know it’s not ignored (and I’ll be forwarding until we get it 👊).
In the meantime don’t forget to check the Knowledge Base.
