Designing PDF Manuals

Product Manuals are documents that are used to describe the workings and the features of the products. They are easy and friendly documents that facilitates the users regarding the product. They have the usage instructions, cautions, maintenance schedule, limitations and the does and don'ts of the products. This has to be a simple and self explanatory document so that a layman user can also understand its operation also. This is also a big job to make a technical thing simple enough that a lay man can also understand the usability of the product.

How does it work?

A technical person from your side will give a demonstration of the products and would discuss the working and its flow in detail and the copy writer along with the help of a technical writer would rewrite the whole process in simple words. The copy writer would be working close to your technical and operational staff so that all the aspects are covered in detail.

How much would it cost?

An intermediate level manual writer will cost you $650 to $ 750 USD / month depending on the qualification, experince and skills set of the person. The designer will work 8 hours a day and 6 days a week. This price includes all other costs and management fees.
