Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Poor documentation choice in HTML
Both HTML and PDF versions of the documentation are included with the
Oracle8 installation media (including the Oracle8 Server, Oracle8
Client, Personal Oracle8).
When you select the documentation to be installed, this installs the HTML version. Look on your installation CD and you'll find a directory off of the root directory called PDFDOC. Open the file index.pdf in this directory, and you can navigate within the Acrobat viewer to access the entire Oracle8 documentation set.
