D2a Maintenance Schedule in word or xls format?

[gavinwibrow]

I have the LR 2 page D2a maintenance schedule in pdf, but want to add some additional tasks/information which appear in other documentation.
Has anyone already done this, or can anyone supply a word or xls version that I can play with/add additional tasks and then post for general consumption? I used to have a pdf converter but it disappeared when I upgraded computers.

FWIW The seperate D2 and D2a service schedules have been superseded by a single schedule:

In the latest Adobe Reader v11, which I installed yesterday i saw they offer an on line service to convert pdf's to word and excel. I haven't tried it but worth a go.

It makes a bit of a mess due to the columns.

Bummer :mad:

I would have thought Adobe would have had a more robust translation.

Hi Paul - yes I have that one too, but have already discovered some extra items worth checking from a Haynes Manual I have just aquired - hence the interest in expanding the official list. Cheers

the old program I had "aquired" in the past worked well, but as Paul says the newy is not so hot.

I wonder if anyone EVER changes brake lines at 6 years?

Probably not, but it's not such a bad idea.

What is recommended is closer to a complete brake system overhaul, as it includes replacing all the hydraulic seals in addition to the hoses.

I use pdf995. Its free with adds on startup.
It adds itself as a printer, just select it when printing.

Try http://www.zamzar.com
Just gave it a go with the service schedule PDF. It does reasonably good job, but the output still needs a bit of cleanup. That said its far better than acrobat.

Thanks guys. I'll have a play.

I had a quiet day at home yesterday, so made my own xls version from scratch. I'm still playing with the format.

Basically I wanted a checklist of all potential service items with frequencies and last time attended to, including non regular service replacement items such as batteries, alternator, door actuators, so at the moment its very much a living document.

Will post when I think I have covered most of the bases, so the gurus can point out everything I've missed - unless someone wants to play with/see the current version?

Did anyone ever creat this in excel or word, could be handy and a great idea????

Using Libre Office on a Linux computer, I could open the PDF link in this thread, edit it and save it.

I believe Libre Office is available for Windows too.

Yep, I'm still refining the excel version as items arise, but anyone is welcome to a copy of where I'm at if you don't mind removing my data.

[Islandnomad]

Yes post it mate, I'll clean up your data and give it to the moderators to put in the "good oil", could be a handy piece of information for all to use.

[gavinwibrow]

Attached. Partly cleaned up, but needs massaging. I have a couple of other documents that I really should amalgamate into this.
