The hardware documentation on the PIC32 runs to 1200 pages.
If you have ever tried to use that to do something useful it
becomes near impossible.

It is not like a big book where you have random access to any one page.
You have to tell the PDF reader what page you want to look at.
At the bare minimum you need a separate  index PDF.
Attached.

I found this free PDF editor that can extract a range of pages.
This way I can break it down into workable chapters. Each chapter is
book length in the case of the PIC32. Most of the other free PDF
editors I looked at are junk.

The editor is called PDF24 and published by www.pdf24.org
I highly recommend it.

BTW there is a real time clock calendar in the PIC32 for free that would
make a great wrist watch with 312K of storage. Built into the PIC32 is
also a built in USB port. How about having your Android  cell
phone talk to your watch :) The application of this boggles the mind.
How about a hi rez camera in your watch for taking pictures discreetly.
