Just copy the relevant PDF's (or in my case simply from the download) to a folder where you can access, or shortcut to them from the desktop etc.

With regards to the index - it's not of any real use to the older vehicles anyway. I guess if youre post 1995 then perhaps it may be of some use.... but If you simply open the PDF itself in preview and command-f to find what you're looking for it takes less than 5 seconds to bring up every reference in the document.
Especially handy when using the ETM, as you can type in a connector reference and it will bring up every location in the document where it is referenced. In an RRC ETM it was particularly useful for me.

Anyway, that's just my $0.05 you may prefer to run parallels, but I find that to simply chew battery when all I need is preview.app to do same.

The OP is refering to a MAC not Windows.
Rave by default uses a early version of Acrobat that is encoded into the program. Unless it has been "freeraved" it will not open with another PDF reader.
As I said earlier, I use it on my Mac without the need to run paralells

I was referring to the Mac. Not sure how you envisaged me referring to windoze.

The version of rave I downloaded (from that other RR forum link) was perfectly fine. all the files were there, including the indecies. all of the PDF's open in preview just fine. There was no mention of the download file being 'freeraved' on the other site.

I'm a bit of a computer gunkhead but I easily loaded it to my MacBook.

Doesn't have td5 engine though...maybe there is something amiss.

There is an app called crossover, from Codeweavers codeweavers.com/products/
This will run rave, it does so on my Ubuntu box
