Is the user dictionary available in pdf?

Post by minx » Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:05 am

Is the User Dictionary was available in pdf format? I'd like to be able to bring it up separately from the environment. I don't know if this already exists somewhere and just don't know where to look.

Presumably from version 9.0.0 onwards it is no longer possible to export the Dictionary as a PDF document.

Straight up PDF is universal format but not so great/easy to use.
You can export the dictionary as a docset for Dash (if you're on Mac I'd recommend this). There are a few free readers if cost is an issue.

James Hale has a couple of very useful stacks on Sample Stacks:
Make Docset (extract your own dictionary loading whatever extensions you specifically have). Always up to date with your version ;)
https://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/845/Make-DocSet

Docset Reader - a viewer for the docset. Similar layout to Dictionary. Very fast.
https://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/ ... set-Reader

If you want this completely outside the environment you can just build as standalone.
Or if you need an API reader for practically any language and you're on a Mac, look at Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash (£15)
Can't recommend it enough...

It's a few thousand pages. What are you looking for?

I only belatedly realised this thready is 13 years old and revived in 2018 by @Gurki and left to die. Then revived again now by @Richmond62.
So it's probably unlikely the OP will answer ;)

I am looking, ultimately, for a plain text version of the Dictionary, so I store it as a custom prop in a stack, call bits of it into a field, and edit (add my own guff) using a simple text editor.

Moving from a PDF to a text document is easy.
