Don't know if any ones mentioned this yet but perhaps you might include the guide in a help format. And build it into dream maker so people offline could view it just by running dream maker.

If I am not mistaken, ctrl+F doesn't work with pdfs. But you can save the page with the guide.

You can search PDF files as long as they are text, like the DM Guide. Some PDFs are simply a collection of scanned images of the pages, which makes it impossible to search.

You got me. It is not impossible, it's just difficult. There are several OCR (Optical Character Rocognition, I think) programs that can grab text from an image, but they are often inaccurate. You would have to extract the images from the PDF into a format the OCR can scan, let the OCR interpret it, and then search the resultant text. Acrobat Reader doesn't perform any OCR internally, so it does not support finding text on images.
