Phil Reed-Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...And a question

[Funeris]

Phil,

I just downloaded the Campaign Planner Deluxe and I must say...it is magnificent and just what I need. Unfortunately, my current game has been meeting irregularly (maybe once a month or two) and I'm finding it hard to keep track of every detail. This planner looks like its a godsend (once I delve fully into it I'll post my comments on the product).

My question is this: Obviously, I can fill out the forms and distribute to my players in print all the little details of my homebrew. Can I give them a pdf (without the ability to fill in/modify the forms) of the applicable forms? And beyond that...I have a few Story Hour fans that might like to see the applicable forms...to maybe run a campaign in my homebrew world. Can I distribute the same unmodifiable pdf with a few of the pages or should I just keep typing that up seperately?

Thanks again for this wonderful pdf.

You mean a PDF version in which you've filled in data specific to your campaign? Yes. If you mean the blank forms then please do not.

Would you mind e-mailing me the PDF as you intend to distribute it? I'd like to see exactly what you want to give out before I say yes or no. I'm sure you can understand why I want to be careful.

And thank you! This is the kind of thread that helps make the work fun.

Yes, I meant a pdf--unmodifiable: I'd print it, scan it and convert it to pdf to remove the option of the forms...and then they'd have to tinker with it for quite awhile to add new text--with the info specific to my campaign.

When I get around to having the forms filled out (maybe by January since I have so much scattered info)...I'll send you a copy so you can see what I mean (in the event any readers actually want the info).

And, you're welcome (I enjoy praise as well)

that campaign planner is a GODSEND! I picked up the one that didn't allow for form fillable options, but that's not too bad since I don't have the full version of Acrobat so I wouldn't be able to save anything anyhow. Sorry didn't mean to hijack... the thread just reminded me that I had never mentioned how much use I have gotten out of it.

Okay. Yeah, please run by me what you want to distribute (but it all sounds good).

I suspect a future announcement will make you very happy.

You do know that there are plenty of free software packages out there that you can use to print a file directly to PDF, right? Personally, I use CutePDF Writer.

Actually I do know that. And I have acrobat professional so I know how to do that. The joy of printing and running it through the mass scanner/copier/printer at work is that I know for certain it removes all of the forms in a pdf. It also makes for a smaller file in most cases.

Thanks for the advice though.
