Is there a PDF version of the 14" MacBook Pro user guide?

This is driving me nuts. I can find online resources, but I can't find any official Apple PDF version of a user guide for my new 14" MacBook Pro. I want to be able to download a PDF doc to refer to when I'm not connected to the internet. And I might want to print out certain sections that I refer to often. Is Apple no longer providing this kind of documentation? TIA for any info regarding user guide PDFs.

There are guides referred to as Essentials. Most models of current or

recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro have them. A combination of

each in association, is best when found in a 'Table of Contents' form.


• Welcome to MacBook Pro Essentials (Table of Contents) - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/macbook-pro/toc


The for example includes both newer (as of 2021-2022) MacBook Pro

14-inch and 16-inch Apple silicon models, with reference also to 13-in.


[I'd attempted to revisit Apple topics from the above page today and

the abysmal (lack of action) from my location made me question the

browser, internet connections, & whether or not Apple site was UP.]


As the Apple Support site gets rather busy, sometimes pages like these

are nearly impossible to access. You may be able to 'Save As' each section

as .PDF of 'Table of Contents.' Or hope to access them online, if available.


Was in the process of testing this Table of Contents version, when it stalled.

That was about 45 min. ago, or so. And I closed almost all browser windows.

..Didn't seem to help; however Apple community pages 'remembered' I tried.!


A fair reference into Official Apple Support:

steve359, thank you for the suggestion. I tried it, but the only 2 results that were in pdf format were 1 page long and 4 pages long. The othe results were for web-based info. (This is for my 2021 14" MacBook Pro.) Since there doesn't seem to be a pdf version of an official Apple user guide, perhaps you & others could recommend an actual book that would serve the purpose? I'm not looking for a beginners /seniors guide book, I'm fairly computer literate, I just need to know more about this machine that I bought right after it came out. Any suggestions?
