Thanks. I know there is some people that have them and I would greatly appreciate a trade or something for it.

I know you wish to do the PDF but maybe this is also a possibility for you.

The R56 manual is published by Bentley Publishers. It is copyrighted material. Making copies or PDF's is a crime, and it's called theft of intellectual property...

Please just spring for the manual, it's only $90 on Amazon. Grow some ethics...

If people on NAM start advocating for illegal activities, and certain parties with deep pockets decide to make an issue of it, NAM could go away.

Do you really want that?

Not asking for free.


I appreciate the links and knowledge about Bentley. I wish there was a subscribe service manual vendor I could use.

Actually it would have to be free or the seller could be in trouble for copyright infringements according to the fair use laws.
"In short, I believe my scanning of the my Law for Business textbook for my personal use probably falls within "Fair Use" because:
1) I have purchased the textbook; I have paid the copyright holder for the information in the book.
2) I still hold the book that I purchased. I'm not scanning and then giving away or selling either the original book or the scanned copy.
3) I am retaining the digital copy of the scanned text book for my personal use for research and education. (Seems like fair use to me.)
4) I am not sharing the scanned copy of the book with others, for fee or for free, who have not purchased the same textbook. (There's no intent to deprive or harm copyright holder.
5) I am not seeking to profit (other than personal knowledge enrichment) from scanning this textbook into digital form or by marking it up with my personal notes, nor am I seeking to deprive the publisher of their right to profit from their copyrighted work"

For some interesting reading it goes into lots of detail on what may or may not be legal. They even talk about sharing a school textbook with another student.

Is content on the Internet copyrighted?

Yes, everything on the Internet (including everythi
ng on the World Wide Web) is copyrighted. It is a
common misconception that everything on the Web is
in the public domain. While it is true that
documents on the Web (and in other digital formats)
are easier to reproduce and distribute than other
media, the ease of reproduction and distribution does
not change the copyright. Digital content is still
copyrighted and copying or reproducing
it without permission may be illegal.

So everyone of us at one time or another have violated the copy right laws. Don't try to say you have not because you have
