The problem is that all of the machine diagrams are in this format,
for example the electrical diagram for one of the machines will have
from 8 to 11 pages, and there are 56 drawings for the simplest machine
to 150 drawings for the most complex one. I do not want to have to
convert all of these drawings to another format in order to view them.
I am going to try the other solutions that some have given here.
