ArchiCAD help document

I'm using Polish version of ArchiCAD 21 but I'd like to have access to that wonderful 3500-page help PDF in English. I cannot find it anywhere in the Internet. Could someone please give me a link or share the file?

Is it listed under PDF Guides in the help menu?

Sure but mine is in Polish and I want one in English. That's why I'm asking if someone could send me, put on google drive, wetransfer or anything else.

I know it's there. But I really need to have it offline, in a neat PDF which has the same layout as Polish version, in order to compare names of tools. Because I'm just a beginner, most tutorials are in English and I sometimes don't know what tools they talk about.

All of those PDFs are on your system, offline, already as part of the installation. The menu is just a convenience to open them from in-product.

Go to your Applications / Program Files folder for GRAPHISOFT > ARCHICAD 22 ... and look at the Documentation subfolder.

If your PDFs are in Polish and you really want English, your reseller may be able to provide you with a link to the INT (International English) version of AC 22 to download - or may be able to make the INT PDFs available to you. License terms prevent any of us from uploading the files...and they're big, anyway... 175 MB for the Reference Guide.
