OK, which versions of Asgard win the vote?

ROFLMAO!



Shaken, not stirred indeed

(Is there a D&D condition "stirred"? If not, it's an oversight, terribly so!)

additional comment

BTW, is there any possibility for turning off the page counts?

I am just printing out the fighting schools and Class skill-system, and the black lines are torture to my printer!

If there's no easy possibility to turn them off, would it be possible for future issues to make them at least gray or red or something (red comes off as gray when I print gray scale, as I usually do)?

Thanks,
Berandor

I was just wondering the status of this thing was. I see the poll above (All 18 votes), but haven't seen any kind of official announcement. With all the WotC news with the layoffs and the revised conversion rules I can see Morrus being a very busy person.

I just thought I'd post a little reminder that there hasn't been anything Official announced...at least to me.

All that, plus the ENnies voting meant I decided to keep it low profile for a while. Once the Ennies voting is over (tomorrow), I'll publicise this poll a little more.

Berandor, what do you mean about page counts? What black lines? Me being stingy and with some form of mutant eyes that allow me to read off a computer screen with no pain, I never print pdfs, so you'll have to walk me through what the problem is.

 

[Berandor]

At the bottom of each page, there is a big black column.
On it rests a white number, the page number.

Now, I am sure this is done automatically by whatever program is used to create the document in the first place, before converting to pdf.

I was wondering whether Adobe had a function to leave out certain margins of a page, or if it was possible not to give the page numbers a pure black background.

I read off of screens, too, but the most interesting things I usually print out, so I can read it more carefully, and store it away in my DM's binder

And 2 cm of black line is very uncomfortable with a deskjet printer.

Chances are the Black field is an image or text box that has been assigned a color (In this case black) in whatever layout program the artist used (Quark, pagemaker, Indesign, or whatever) before it got converted into a PDF. The 'page count' is very probably another text box placed on top of that black box, with its background assigned no color - making it transparent - and the text made white. Making it look like white text on black 'line' or box. If the designer was efficient he would have made a single text box assigned a black background with white text. (But that can be difficult to place the text 'just right' for a design.)

I'm not sure what the artist did, but the result is the same. Thoes are elements set in the layout program and pretty much unchangable once converted to PDF.

UNLESS of course you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat. There is a tool that will crop a page. so you could crop out the bottom half inch or so. I'm not sure if the free version of Acrobat reader has this function or not, or if there is anything I am missing.

Well I rambled, and guessed, and I could very well be wrong.

But I would guess you are out of luck.

 

[Berandor]

I'm not necessarily out of luck, because I indeed own the full version of Adobe Acrobat 5.0...

Well then....Crop away!!

Isn't it better to put this poll for some more time on the general forum? I didn't see it in time, and didn't vote, and I can't say that 18 votes is very representative for the community
