This workbook is based on the 'AISC Shapes Database' Version 14.1 (October 2013), and has the same look as the ones that I did based on earlier AISC shapes database/manual versions.

AISC Steel Construction Manual - 14th Edition - Digital Copy
I wasn't sure where to post this question, but has anyone purchased the digital edition of the 14th edition steel construction manual?
Link to bookstore AISC Steel Construction Manual - 14th Edition - Digital Copy
For those of you who have purchased it, does the document have chapter links and bookmarks embedded in the pdf?
To me, these are essential for digital documents. If I have to page through the entire pdf manually, I probably won't purchase it.
There are no sample pages or chapters to get a sense of the quality of the digital manual.
Basically I'm trying to figure out whether or not it is worth the cost. I already have the hardcopy but wouldn't mind purchasing the pdf.
