If it’s not crucial to commit before training then I may just work with the PDF. Thanks for any input.
I recommend getting comfortable with electronic documents. During indoc you will receive an ipad with all company manuals, some have more than 1,000 pages. Printing all that content doesn't make sense and you'd be the only person in the training center with a wheelbarrow of paper manuals.

I would use the supplemental guide to get comfy browsing content quickly, use the table of contents and search function. These skills will be essential during indoc studies.

If you print anything, print the flows, limitations and profiles. Do you really need a paper explaining how the the DVDR works?
