You can open the manual pdf-file directly from Live via the menu: Help -> Read the Live Manual

Don't know if there will be the possibility in future to only download the manual for Live 9 like for Live 8:

But it might take some days ...

I contacted support yesterday, and it's not online yet - they told me that my request will be forwarded so it will be up soon from what I could tell by the response I got.

I have to have my 'bible' with everywhere I go! :D

If you have Live already installed, the manual-file can be found under "\Docs" in the Live 9 Suite installation-folder. You can simply copy this .pdf to another location.

Under Windows, it's called 'User Manual English.pdf' (if you want the english version)

Thanks, but I've been using the online version alot when I want something to read once in a while, and not being by my daw.
Have thought of putting it in my dropbox, but it's best for all, if Ableton just releases it like they did with version 8's manual

They are hiding it cause it's not up to date with latest changes.

Thanks for this! It a bit odd that Ableton is not able to provide the manual to all customers. The two different help menus inside Live only provide dead links...

Could someone provide the full location of where the manual is supposed to be on OSX so I can put it there myself?

User Manual English.pdf only give the manual for Live 8, not 9 on my computer.
