[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4521969, member: 70778"] What is the largest errata so far that makes changes? Lines of text and other objects in a PDF can easily be moved up or down. Moving up where there is less text after the errata doesn't matter if the book will never see print again. Even if it does it will just be a little bit more whitespace on the page from the missing line or two in the section. I recall using an OLD program on an Apple in school that was on 5 1/4 inch disks. Now assuming actual publishing software today is superior and not inferior to that product used to make simple school newspapers, then columns of text with margins set should easily be able to be make and adjust rather quickly as those decades ago, and can be printed to a PDF file with OCR or direct text inserted from the printer driver of the publishing software. I don't see why it should be taking long to typeset anything when many newspapers are able to do it in a matter of hours, and today has vast more powerful technology than that of many decades ago. edit: which book? The first listed errata for the PHB I have is page 42 and the racial trait to say "1 attack at-will power" yada yada. That also causes either a shift of lines, or a bit of overhang on the righthand side of the column. [/QUOTE]
