Mopar Service Library

[CdnHO]

I have a three day subscription to the Mopar Service library. I am in process of downloading wiring diagrams and well as some service data. Is there a trick to downloading? Or is the only way to resize and download each page, one at a time?

That is how I am downloading them. Through the print menu on my Mac

Have no idea about mac but on my PC I have no problem downloading them and manipulating them later, can you download
them to a file folder on your mac , it might be better than doing though the printer menu,
but like I said I have no experience with mac.

Basically you "print" the file to a pdf. Have to make sure that then entire image is showing (by zooming in or out) or you miss a part of the page. Too bad you can no longer get the old paper manuals or manuals on CD. Was hoping someone on here had an easier way.

I've not found an easier way myself, it's a pain and I'm sure it's designed to be.

I only see a "print" button. If there is a "download button, I am missing it.

@Brutal_HO Is there any Mac experts on the site?

I use a Mac. The only way I have found is to either hit the print button and then save to PDF in the print dialog, or take screenshots. For wiring diagrams where they extend far horizontally I tend to go the screenshot route.

I’m not sure if these same options are in Mac as I only grab schematics on my iPhone, but this is what I do to print to pdf (screenshots don’t really work out because zooming in doesn’t magnify the clarity of the schematic).
I set rhe letter size to tabloid, toggle it from portrait to landscape, then long press (click on) the image to generate the PDF. If the schematic is too wide, I scale down to 75% so the generated pdf grabs the whole width of the schematic.




Then this is the pdf it generates, and after I save it, I can zoom all the way in anywhere on that pdf, and the numbers and words magnify along with the zoom:

Menu is identical and that is pretty well how I am doing it. Printing to a pdf allows me to zoom in without loss of quality. A pain for sure. I think I am about half way through the schematics. I had hoped I was missing something. LOL

It used to be easy, but they’re constantly updating the service library to make it more cumbersome to do it.

"Cumbersome" is being kind.

Anyone willing to share their painfully acquired pdf library?
