Dear all,

Can I get a PFC2D tutorial pdf document? So that I can learn the software more easily.

Thank you.

Hello Syani,

To my knowledge only the online documentation exists for PFC - [PFC — PFC 7.0 documentation](http://docs.itascacg.com/pfc700/pfc/docproject/source/manual/pfchome.html).  
Is there a particular reason you want a pdf?

Hi Derrick,

Thank you for your reply.  
I think it’s easier for me to learn something by printing the file. But it’s okay if you don’t have one. The online tutorials are great too, maybe I’ll just print that out.

Thank You.

Hi are there similar pdf’s available for FLAC3D documentation (or print to pdf from website option)? I prefer pdfs where I can highlight , bookmark and keep notes while learning the details of the software capabilities… Understanding the disadvantage of once made to pdf it is not the latest verison any more, but basic things do not change that fast…

Cheers,  
julia

Hello @JuDi,  
Full pdf versions of all the online documentation are not available. I did some searching around and did find the FLAC3D 6.0 Examples and Theory and Background section in pdf format here - [FLAC3D 7.00 Update | US Minneapolis - Itasca Consulting Group, Inc.](https://www.itascacg.com/software/downloads/flac3d-7-00-update)  
Under the Supplementary Files section.
