Compatibility of Our Manuals: A Quick Guide
We've made sure our manuals work smoothly across different platforms. Here's what you need to know:
PDF Manuals
All our PDF manuals are compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you've downloaded a PDF manual, you can view it using any PDF viewer. However, for the best experience, we recommend Adobe Acrobat. Need more details on how to use your PDF manual? Check out our helpful article: How to Use My PDF Manual.
OVA Software
Our OVA software runs exclusively on the emanuals online platform — accessible directly from your browser with no downloads or installation required.
If you members do purchase the software separately for offline use, then it is compatible with Windows, macOS (Intel-based), and Linux.
Please note the following devices are not compatible:
❌ Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3) — VirtualBox has very limited/unreliable support
❌ Chromebooks — cannot run VirtualBox natively
❌ Mobile devices (iOS/Android) — VirtualBox not supported
❌ 32-bit operating systems — newer VirtualBox versions dropped 32-bit host support
If you're unsure whether your device is compatible, please reach out to our support team and we'll be happy to help.
