Is the user dictionary available in pdf?
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.
Re: Is the user dictionary available in pdf?
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.

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

Re: Is the user dictionary available in pdf?
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.
