[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 4868042, member: 12966"] I use the WebStart on my MacBook Pro running Tiger, but I understand that the latest Java update from Apple has broken the WebStart feature (ugh!) so that's rather unfortunate -- the ZIP technique is a pain on the Mac because Apple, in their infinite wisdom, chose not to provide a GUI option for marking a script executable! So running the [b]Launch MapTool-OSX.command[/b] file is a pain to do. Re: the PDF question, you would need to take a screenshot of the PDF image and then import it. What I've done with my Paizo PDFs is to select the background image of the PDF and drag it to my desktop. Using Acrobat Reader 8 (not 9!) this grabs the image and removes all of the room numbers and other text! Paizo did this RIGHT -- and left all that stuff on a separate layer of the PDF making it much easier for us "electronic rpg'ers". You're really better off asking these questions on the RPTools forum, though. Oh, and since I didn't put this in my previous post: Standard disclaimer -- I'm the site admin over at [url=http://forums.rptools.net/]RPTools.net Forums • Index page[/url] as well as a code contributor, but other than that I'm just a happy customer. :) (Now I think I'll go add that to my .sig) [/QUOTE]
