... or you can find it via "Show Package Contents" in the DP app file. It's here:

/Applications/Digital Performer.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Digital Performer Help/pdfs

Alt-Drag it to your desktop, and then put it wherever you keep manuals. (Don't just drag it, or you'll alter the contents of the DP app and who knows where that will lead?)

The sidebar is a good place if you want to get to it often and quickly. Now you can double click it and open it in Preview in full colour.

I have it open in full screen with two pages side by side, and place it in an alternate desktop so it's always there. If I need it, I can hit cntl-arrow a few times and there it is.

+1

I ended up copying it and placing it in my Dropbox account, along with every single other manual I have (even the new vacuum cleaner manual is in there). That's a great way to always have them under your finger tips where ever you are.
These manuals make great reading when waiting in lines, or waiting for people, or impossible full-stop México Shity traffic jams 8)
