Documentation PDF Add-in

You can download and install the JMP documentation add-in. The documentation add-in contains an individual PDF file of each document in the JMP library and the JMP Documentation Library file. The JMP Documentation Library file is one PDF file that contains all the individual book PDF files, which lets you search all individual books from a single PDF file, similar to the JMP Online Help.

When installed, the documentation add-in adds the Documentation PDFs option to the Help menu and installs the PDF files on your machine. This enables you to access the documentation locally by selecting Help > Documentation PDFs. Download the available documentation add-ins from https://www.jmp.com/doc-addin.

The following table describes the purpose and content of each document in the documentation add-in.

Document Title
