Thank you for contacting Garmin International. I will be happy to help
you with this. Our manuals are in the PDF format because they are
secure and cannot be copied or revised. My suggestion is that you can
send the link for the PDF file and tell them what page they need to look
at to get their answer.

Not with a pdf. If you own Adobe Acrobat writer you may be able to save

as text but if so you lose formatting as I recall.

I just tried it.
Garmin manual for 76csx doesn't work...just as you said.
Other PDF files work fine...but again, you are correct about formatting loss

I've just tried copying from GPSmap 76CSx manual using Okular
(alternative pdf reader). It says "Copy forbidden by DRM".
