I have tried using "print" as pdf but all figures are shown as generic
thumbnails. The text is fine, the problem is the figures.

Thanks

Per,
I've encountered the same problem. It only happens for the basic Manual
part; the Configuration and Macro Manuals work fine. For the basic
Manual, it only happens if one tries to print the selected topic and all
subtopics at once. So, as a workaround, I've found that printing the
topics separately and then stitching them together into one pdf document
preserves all figures. Annoying and tedious, yes, but it works.

I forgot to mention that this is a known problem for printing compiled
html files (which is the format of the basic Manual file). Searching
around the web you may find various workarounds which may or may not
work for you. What I suggested below will always work, even though it is
the most tedious procedure.

Helmut,

Thanks for the response, but I think this could practically result in ~100
pdf files!
