The Bookshelf feature lets you view the manuals for ACS Contexte applications on your computer screen in .pdf (portable document format). When you open manuals through Bookshelf, they appear in Adobe Acrobat Reader, where you can view, print, and search through the contents as desired.

As part of the ACS Contexte installation or upgrade, your database or system administrator sets Bookshelf to display the .pdf versions of your Contexte manuals. If you are unable to access manuals in Bookshelf, contact your system administrator or see the "System Basics" chapter in your Contexte setup manual for further instructions .
