If you are still going to be creating a user doc .pdf, perhaps keep it up to date online and send out an email blast to registered users either including the updated pdf which includes a revision date in it's title or a notice that a revised doc is now available for download with a link to download it. And as 7.0 is coming out, note any new tags with (new in 7.0) and any tags no longer being used in 7 note it as (6.2 only or N/A) so the same doc can be provide for 6.2 and 7.0 users.
Also, it would be really nice if there was a glossary/cross reference for all tags and operators. The current documentation only lists main topics. I sometimes spend time looking for exact syntax for some things that I may not have used for a while. For instance I recently could not find where to find the correct syntax for "ALLREQD" within the online docs. I knew it was an abbreviation of ALLREQUIRED but wasn't sure. After looking in several main topics, beginning with the topic "searching", in the online docs, I gave up and opened a page where I've previously used this.
