Abstract: There is provided an information processing device having: a distribution portion that distributes an update data to a client terminal updating, on the client terminal, a first manual information constituted as a structured document; a PDF generation portion that generates a PDF file having a second manual information updated with the update data; and a file storage portion that stores the PDF file generated by the PDF generation portion in a state allowing the client terminal which is a distribution destination of the update data to download the PDF file.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to make a manual easier to use. This manual management device 7 selects which stored content data to display on the basis of information on hardware or software installed in or on a user terminal 3 and issues an instruction to update a manual using the selected content data. In accordance with said instruction, the user terminal 3 updates a displayed manual using manual content data stored in a database.

Abstract: There is provided a manual browsing device comprising: a manual storage section that stores manual information; a collection section that collects device information of the manual browsing device or device information of a peripheral, which is an external device communicating information with the manual browsing device; an information selection section that selects a display menu which indicates some of the manual information based on the device information collected by the collection section; and an updating section that updates a display screen on which the manual information is displayed, by using the display menu selected by the information selection section.
