Hi, The contents of the single PDF I checked were eerily similar to the online documentation. Compare the first few pages of (say) "Advanced Numerical Differential Equation Solving ....pdf" with tutorial/NDSolveOverview. For mine, it's a good thing that WRI have saved "us" the trouble of searching documentation centre then printing material, either to PDF or dead tree, but finding that these PDF's are basically the same as what we already have takes some of the gloss of things.
