Hello All: I'm currently running Mathematica 7.0.1 on a Linux computer, and there is a bug where any documentation that uses the Help Browser (old style documentation) pegs my CPU and I have to shutdown Mathematica. The frustration is that three of the packages I've purchased from Wolfram (Time Series, Neural Networks, and Wavelet Explorer) use this old style. As such, I'm hamstrung trying to learn how to use these. Thankfully, I've found the documentation online, which will allow me to at least copy code. However, I still like to have a hardcopy to peruse at my leisure away from the computer. One thing I thought was to convert all of the notebooks to a PDF, then concatenate them all together. I was wondering if there is a way to do this as a shell script from the command line. That is, For all notebooks in the subdirectories under: /usr/share/Mathematica/Applications/Wavelets/Documentation/English Open the notebook in Mathematica and save each as a PDF, effectively the same name, new extension. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on how to do this? Cheers, t.
