Option to download entire product bookshelves in addition to individual manuals

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I would like to be able to download, via a single download, the entire grouping of PDF manuals related to a given product or "z/OS VxRyy and Software Products Collection", including an HTML index with the names of the manuals similar to the index on "z/OS and Software Products Collection" and a PDX index to be able to search the all manuals for the given product. simply unzip the package on the HTTP server, And once we've downloaded the manuals, we would update one link (from the main page to all vendor's manuals) to the newly downloaded product's index page, and be good to go.

A nice implementation would have check boxes next to each manual on the page (like http://www-01.ibm.com/software/rational/products/developer/systemz/library/index.html#pd-
v801) with a top check box to select all for a section or select all on the page, etc. Even nicer would be able to do that for multiple products and have a single download for them all. This could also tie in with all software that the customer is licensed for, and for freely available products, all products the te customer has downloaded or has set as "in use".

    Thank you for your request - the toolset we use to create and handle the documentation does not support the type operation you are looking for, so implementing your request is not possible at this time. However, the PDF documentation is part of the Developer for System z information center. If you download and install the information center, you have, in effect, all available documentation for the product.
    In the next release of RDz we will also be providing separately installable infocenter. Thanks.
