Sorry no, there is no PDF -- the User Guide is a collection of HTML pages only, and has not been assembled into a single document. These are all included in your local download of the software package, so you do not need to be online. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear UCSF RBVI Team,
My name is Wang Xue, and I am a graduate student at South China Agricultural University. I have been learning to use UCSF ChimeraX to build the icosahedral capsid model of viral proteins. In the course of my studies, I discovered that the ChimeraX documentation and User Manual are provided as a collection of HTML files. While these are extremely helpful, I find that having a single, paginated PDF version would greatly facilitate offline review, bookmarking, and printing of the chapters I most frequently consult.
Would it be possible for you to share the complete ChimeraX User Manual in PDF format? If such a version is already available, I would be grateful if you could direct me to its download link. Otherwise, I would very much appreciate your assistance in providing a consolidated PDF.
Thank you for your help and for all the work you do in maintaining this valuable resource. I look forward to continuing to explore ChimeraX’s powerful features.
Sincerely, Wang Xue South China Agricultural University July 20, 2025
