I'm guessing these are PDF formatted manuals. Why not just use Adobe Reader for these books. You don't have to use calibre's viewer for every format you read. Calibre allows you to launch whatever viewer you like from within calibre.

Go to Preferences - Behavior to configure the internal viewer.

I only use the internal viewer for epub, lrf, fb2, pdb, and rb. Any other book I attempt to view from calibre will launch and external viewer.
