That particular book doesn't exist yet, should be out "any time now." As for pdfs, it depends... places where you can buy pdfs are pretty popular. Places you can download pdfs of print books are kind of frowned upon by most, particularly the authors and publishers who frequent these forums.

ahh that makes sense
the reason why i'm asking is because i'm trying to convert a character from a story i'm writing into monster format and i don't want to turn her into a munchkin. (templates are good to prevent this) maybe somebody can help me convert her.
she's basically a dragonlord/Godborn hybrid with some greater spirit qualities.
Soralis de Mordant. The Harvester of Souls. The Isisethren.

Dragon form (1 headed) Str 40. DEX: 50. CON: 18. INT: 21. WIS 18. CHA 17
Dragon form(7 headed): Str 60. DEX: 50. CON: 18. INT: 21. WIS 18. CHA 17
POWERS:
Polymorph, can change her shape at will, true form is that of a huge 7 headed dragon or that of an exotic looking woman in her 20’s with white hair and translucent gold eyes.
Immortal, can only be killed by beheading
Adamantine symbiont: acts as a living body armor capable of producing any edged weapon as well as chains. Will take her body over if she is unable to protect herself. (Does not have it before Shao Kahn kidnaps her, post-middle earth)
Psionic: is an accomplished psionic and clairvoyant with abilities ranging from telepathy to psychokinesis to precognition.
She is incredibly strong and fast. Has heightened senses, can see in the dark, can sense undead and summon spirits/shadows to aid her. She is also a highly skilled martial artist with a great deal of knowledge in the occult.
HISTORY
Soralis was born in the sierra mountains on earth more than 1400 years ago. When she was nearly an adult, her tribe was attacked and slaughtered by a rival band. These marauders tortured and killed her entire family before turning on her. They also tortured her and finally disemboweled her before burying her alive. It took her a year and a day to tunnel out of the mass grave they had thrown her in. When she got out, she was understandably deranged and went on a three year killing spree that took out several Mayan cities including Teotihuacán, Xochilnac and Cuetzpalli.
When she was done, she eventually made her way to Europe where she encountered an immortal called Methos. He brought her back to the realm of the sane and taught her many things before giving her the name ‘Soralis de Mordant’, the harvester of souls. He then sent her against his former allies and gleefully watched her decimate them.
For several centuries, she traveled, killing evil sorcerers, mages and demons before finally meeting an idiotic mage bent on world domination. This mage foolishly opened a portal to hell, which she closed at the expense of winding up in that terrible place.
She spent around a hundred years there before managing to kill the first evil’s second in command. She refused to take his place, thereby earning the first evil’s anger and the Powers That Be favor. The PTB whisked her away to Middle Earth as a ‘reward’ for her behavior in hell.
There, she was captured by a Ringwraith and taken to Dol Guldur. While being held captive there, she befriended another prisoner, the elf-warden Haldir of Lothlorien. Together, they managed to escape and made their way to Haldir’s home with the help of the wizard Gandalf. Now Soralis is residing in Lothlorien, aiding the elves and keeping the forces of Dol Guldur at bay with her fire and spells.
CURRENT HISTORY:
She spent around 500 yrs in middle earth. Sometime during her stay there, she was ambushed by a powerful hell-god called Shao Kahn and taken to Outland, where she was subjugated to terrible experiments that finally ended with a living adamantine based symbiont attached to her skellital structure. She was rescued by an external mutant called Prophet who recruited her into an ancient order called the Shadowlords.
These Shadowlords are protectors and defenders of the cosmos and are ordained to keep the balance between good and evil. Now, Soralis is the protector of earth and is doing a fairly good job at irritating the various evil powers that threaten it.
STATISTICS
Soralis is the daughter of Rayden the thunder god (Mortal Kombat template) and a female dragonlord. She is in fact the reincarnation of the Isisethren, a daughter of Osiris and Isis, and as the Isisethren, the ruler of Limbo, a buffer zone between heaven and hell. (in my cosmos, limbo is similar to D&D outlands). However, while in mortal form, Limbo is ruled by the Isisethren’s second in command.
The Isisethren habitually reincarnates into mortal form so she can be truly just when judging mortal souls. For if one does not walk in a mortal’s shoes, how can she be any judge of mortal actions?
Due to her own past, the first evil, Shao Kahn and various devils and demons want her head on a plate and her hide for a rug. However, she does have one thing going for her. They are forbidden from subverting her to their will as they cannot influence Limbo and compromise its neutrality. That doesn’t mean they can’t torture and kill her for other reasons. They just can’t use her as a jumping post to open heaven like a ripe peach.
Soralis has many of the dragonlord powers as well as some greater spirit based powers.

Dragonlord
Ages ago, the hell-goddess Tiamat captured a descendant of Bahuma and forced him to have intercourse with her. She had planned on using the resulting children to foment confusion and dismay among the various good-aligned dragons.
Tiamat’s plans went wrong. Instead of having the form of a metallic dragon and the heart and soul of an evil, chromatic dragon, the exact opposite happened. Her children possessed her basic form and abilities, but had the general disposition of a good-aligned or neutral dragon.
The young dragonlords were quick to hide their natures and escaped hell at the first opportunity. When they reached the earth realms, they spread throughout the various dimensions, gleefully creating havoc among their mother’s forces.

Hi there Jakathi!
Is the base creature a humanoid or a dragon?
It seems to me that a humanoid with both the Half-Dragon and the Quasi-deity (from D&Dg) Templates would be what you are after?
Then you can create the Adamantine Symbiote Template.
By the way, interesting amalgam of source material you have; reminds me of our campaign!

that might work.
she's essentially a half-dragonlord/immortal hybrid with some greater spirit qualities, since she's the reincarnation of a daughter of isis/osiris.
and i don't have a clue on how to create an adamamintine symbiot template.
basically, the symbiot is a supernatural/intelligent. version of the microscopic creatures that form limestone. only instead of calcium carbate, their shells are adamintine based. I'd say they're a hive-mind based poly-glomerate. sort of like some of the deep-sea jellies.

For the adamantium symbiant thing, I'd have something like these abilities:
Nat Armor: Increases by +6 (hey, its adamnantite)
Hive Senses: +6 Spot, +6 listen
All Around Vision: Also granted by Hive. Can't be flanked
Absorb Damage: Symbiotic cells can naturally absorb damage done to host. Absorbs the first 5 damage of any attack, can absorb up to 100 points of damage, "flushes" 20 points a day. Example: On monday it absorbs 85 points of damage. If it was attacked again that day, it could only absorb 15 more. A day passes. Now, on tuesday, it has "healed" 20 points, droping its absorbed damage to 65, and can absorb 35 more (65 + 35 = 100).
Built In Weapon: Can form any edged weapon, as a standard action, to appear in creature's hand. This weapon is adamantium, and so has the natural properties associated with that metal (see DMG).
These abilities would probably be about CR +2, maybe 3. I'm working on the "dragonlord template." I think I'm angling for make it mechanically similer to the were-whatever templates, but with, um, dragonlords instead.
About what CR are you aiming for?
