MATLAB: Do I get an error when I try to acess the PDF files in the MATLAB 6.0 (R12) HelpDesk

Question

I get the following error when I try to acess the printable documentation, or PDF, files in the MATLAB 6.0 (R12) HelpDesk.

 Documentation in PDF format is located on your Documentation CD.
 Insert the CD, then click OK to continue.

I installed all the documentation files when I installed MATLAB.

Answer 1

To save on disk space, MATLAB does not install the PDF documenation files on your computer. Only the HTML help files are installed.

There are two ways you can access the PDF files:

1. Place the MATLAB R12 Documentation CD in your CD-ROM drive and click OK.

2. If you do not have access to the Documentation CD, you can obtain the PDF documentation from our online HelpDesk at the following location:

Click on the product in the list at the above URL to display its Roadmap page, then see "Printing the Documentation".
