Question about the latest AToW .pdf....

[Demonthunder]

Well, by "latest" I mean the latest version I had (third revision since I first purchased the .pdf sometime last summer--sorry I don't have a date for the revision).

Anyway, my question is this: does anyone else have weird formatting issues with the text at the tops and bottoms of nearly every page in the .pdf? If I do a copy/paste into a word processing document, I can see that the text is still there in tact. However, to look at it in its .pdf format, it's just a bunch of jumbled, black blotches.

If this has been a more common problem, and I'm not just possessed of gremlins, was this problem ever resolved, and is there a way I could get a hold of the resolved version? Previous revisions were just fine (fortunately I kept those files, so... no real loss), but given I actually bought the .pdf, and since Catalyst was so kind as to give me all the updates for free, I don't feel too bad asking about this.

Thanks!

Did you get the pdf from the Battleshop or from Drivethurpg?

I don't know about the Battleshop, but Drivethru gives you 5 downloads per purchase. That number resets each time the pdf is updated.

I don't know about the Battleshop, but Drivethru gives you 5 downloads per purchase. That number resets each time the pdf is updated.

Honestly, I can't recall, but I'm inclined to say "Battleshop." I recall for sure, however, that I was given 7 downloads for my purchase (and each new revision), instead of five, if that means anything to you.

The latest update I recall was last november.  If you have something older contact the battleshop folks about resetting your token to allow you to download the latest.   they normally have a window after each update where you can download it several times, but I think that's effectively 'closed'.


Next question, what reader software are you using, on what platform?


If using a PC you might give the Foxitsoftware reader a try, I like it better than adobe.

Open the document and check:

File > Properties  Modified 9/1/2010

if it matches then you have the most recent edition I know of.

Mine has a file modified date of 3 Nov 10.

Then you have a new copy then me.

The copy I have was downloaded november 4, so it's pretty close to what you have.


If I look at the properties from inside the viewer it tells me the following

File properties can be altered based on when the file was downloaded copied etc..  the internal pdf properties are a bit less subject to change unless your PDF reader lets you make annotations and you make use of that feature.

Thanks for all the replies, lads. Sorry I haven't been very responsive of late.

Anyway, I'm on a Mac, using OSX (leopard, I think...).

I checked the date on the download, and it was from early November of last year, so it seems to be the one you're referring to, Tempus.

I guess I'll just live with it. :)

Almost sounds like a fonts issue. Everything's current on your system?
