Where er the PDF documents for Cyclone 5

Folks,

I need to download the Cyclone V Handbook (and other device docs) as one PDF document. (Like the old days before the new website.) How can I do do that?

It also seems like most of the live links in the docs I downloaded before the new website are also broken. Will this be fixed? Will the links in the new docs work?

The document search function doesn't seem to work in many cases. Is that going to be fixed? If so, when?

Some feedback: The new website seems to be badly broken. Making it difficult for your customers to obtain documentation easily hinders progress and impacts our schedules. The roll out of the new website seems to be ill conceived and improperly implemented.

Thanks,

jp

    For Cyclone 5 here's a link I figured out by inspection of some of the other links. but it was a total hack:

    At this point I have no idea. The "Document browser" is total bull. Altera needs to fix this one quick.

    I agree with this statement 100%. Full handbooks are a requirement to have when doing new designs. Make it easy to locate and download them Altera!

    No Problem. And it's good some things are getting fixed.

    I'm having lunch with my Altera FAE today, so I'll kick him to get the handbooks back online..

    He can't fix it, but hopefully if enough of us complain, it will get fixed soon.

    I complained long an hard on the 5 series numbering convention. I didn't have enough pull to fix it for that series, but at least the 10 series has more reasonable device numbering..

    Go to "Products -> Cyclone V" the click on the "Support" tab next to Overview, Features, Design Tools and Applications.

    On the support page there is blue button called "Get PDF version" which brings you back to the old documentation page.
