Hi everyone, I am looking to download a PDF of some of the ignition documents. Spcifically the startup guide to start. So far, I have only found it in the ignition user manual where I can view on the webpage, but I want to download a copy. Is this possible? TIA! ---

Welcome to the forum! Just did a quick look around and didn't see a pdf option. I would say you should think about leveraging the actual docs since they have a nice search function and PDFs go out of date between versions. The docs make it clear what features exist for what versions of Ignition. If you are wanting to work on getting started, I would recommend diving into [Inductive University](https://inductiveuniversity.com/courses/ignition/ignition-overview/8.1). ---

Thank you for your reply! I have gone through the free videos and such, but I was trying to make some notes for other colleagues that would reference the start up guide. If I had a PDF we could share and highlight things, but it seems that this is not an option. ---

I don't know if anything has changed, but an offline user manual was at least on the docs team radar at some point. > [@Ignition User Manual updates](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-user-manual-updates/85448/118): > > Currently no, but there's interested to set something up going forward. Sadly I don't have an ETA on it yet. Correct, that's the wrong link. Looks like it should go to the [Bindings in Perspective page](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/bindings-in-perspective), and really shouldn't mention a script in the link. I'll have someone take a look. I'm not certain what it you're asking here. The manual really doesn't go into details regarding memory management. You could probably reach out to our [support department via web ticket](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/) with details on what it is… ---

Thanks for confirming Kevin! If this is no longer available on the site, is there any option for purchase? I know my workplace would a need an offline copy for record keeping and reference if we are using ignition. ---

It's not a matter of money, an offline user manual simply doesn't exist. ---

I figured as much, but had to try! Thanks for your quick responses
