[QUOTE="Trevalon Moonleirion, post: 4865358, member: 492"] buzz, I feel guilty for even thinking of taking you up on that offer! If you're willing, however, to print in color at the office, and won't get in trouble for doing so, I'd happily take you up on it. Keep in mind though that for a 19th level party, each sheet is about 6 pages. So that'd be 30-ish pages. Let me know--I was planning on heading to Kinko's / fedex whatever it's called now tomorrow with a flash drive full of PDFs. As a related aside, I spent way too much time scouring the internet and messing with DDI stuff today. This thread gets to hear my rant because no one ever reads the software forums and I have a captive audience here. [sblock] I run the character builder in virtual windows machines: an XP machine running in Parallels on my iMac, and recently, a copy running in a Windows 7 RC (nifty OS, so far) in VMWare on my MacBook. Things were going fine until I was almost done with everything early this morning. (I resolved to stay up until the characters were done) So all the characters are as perfect as they're gonna get, and I'm sending them to print via CutePDF so I can either take them to Kinkos or just print from an environment where I don't have to worry about hunting down the right drivers. 4 out of the 6 characters print perfect PDF files. Then the warlock and the wizard are next--I print, and things look great until I look at the finished product: page one is good...two too...oh what the? The power cards were shifted about two inches up and two inches left, so that most of the cards on the sheet were off the page. Why? I have no idea. This begins a hunt to try and download the July 7 update, which, for whatever reason won't work in the windows 7 vm--the builder launches with no update check at the beginning, and opening the updater exe files does nothing but crash the updater. I eventually give up on this and go to bed. This morning, I try to put the characters into the XP character builder, which I hadn't updated in a few months. Looks like they changed the format. Whoops. Oh, well let's just update, since I at least appear to have the option to with it running in XP. Nope. Thing won't upate--freezes 1/10 of the way into the download of the update, and then I get continuous "sorry, our servers are down, thanks for your patience!" errors. Multiple hours later, (I guess my google-fu is weak?) I found a forum post on gleemax that referenced a similar problem, and included a link to the wotc support site. Problem solved, characters printed to PDF. [/sblock] Okay. The rant's over, I promise. Let me know, buzz! [/QUOTE]
