I'd like to get a printed PD9 Manual.
Office Max wants $162.00 for the 282 page in color.

I'd think the user is referring to the Introduction_to_Creative_Movie_Making_with_PDR.pdf http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/powerdirector/userguide_en_US.html
which is 282 pages and also free from CL but they would like a "printed copy", i.e. paper.

rcalzadilla, Most of those types of print shops in my area charge about $0.50-0.60 a sheet, smaller mom and pop print shops often much cheaper. Does your local city library offer color copy services from the computer center, ours does for $0.15 a sheet. I'm not aware that CL offers printed material like that, they don't even provide it with the boxed retail version.

Hi,
I'm very much a "don't print it unless really necessary" and "save the trees" kinda of user.

My suggestion would be, buy a cheap inkjet printer, work out how to print even and odd pages and do it yourself from the above pdf's.

Just an opinion and not intended to cause upset.

It would be easier for me to have a printed manual and not opening two windows and going back and forth between the two.
The idea about the Public Library is excellent and I am heading over there ASAP.

Agree about saving the trees as much as possible.

Well, just printed the PD9 Guide (131pgs more or less) with my own printer. Front and back of each sheet of paper, so it takes half the number of sheets. A ream of 500 sheets costs about $6.00. (1 cent/page)
Most of the print is black and white so it mostly used the black ink. A black ink cartridge costs around $23.00 and lasts 480 pages. (5 cents/page).
A color cartridge is about $29 or 330 pages. (9 cents/page)
Took it to FedEx Office and for $5.49 they bound it with a spiral and included a front an back protective plastic sheet.
I am guessing it cost me around $11 to $12 all told. Maybe less.

Now the manual lays flat as I read the instructions. Right next to the left of my keyboard.
Happy camper, now.

thanks for all the ideas.
