Accessing

Access the PDF documentation from the Help menu within Stata.

See the recommended viewer settings for viewing the PDF manuals.

You can also access the PDF entry from Stata’s help files. Each help file has a Title with the manual shortcut and entry name in blue. Click on the blue link in the Title.
