[QUOTE="falcarrion, post: 5531889, member: 4023"] One thing I think you sort of glossed over on the pdf is how well it works on tablets. Maybe you don't have a tablet device. Which is quite understable. You did a great job reviewing the actual content. but I want to add some info on how well Kobold did on the pdf alone. First I'm using the Goodreader app on an Ipad to read it. It looks great on the Ipad. Even though it is in three columns which makes the print small, it is still very readable. And with the zoom in and out on the Ipad this is not a big problem. I do wish they hyperlinked the contents page so you could go directly to the article, instead of using the " go to page" function of the Goodreader app. The hypelinking of avertisments is fantastic. Just tap the avertisment and boom your there. Your able to view all the aspects of the product and another couple of taps and your right back to the page you where on. I don't know how many times I have seen something I was intrested in and have to switch out of the pdf to go look it up. For example I clicked on the Herolab's character management software avertisment. I went right into ther website, from there I went into the pathfinder section and clicked on the sample output pdf of a character sheet and got a full page example of the sheet. And I was able to zoom in or out of the sheet. A perfect example of pdfs working well with websites. A couple of clicks and I was back to the magazine. Now lets talk about maps in pdfs. In issue 16 of Kolbold they took the map from the adventure Beer Run and made it a full page in the back of the issue. The color looks great as well as the detail. This makes it easy to project it onto a table if your one of the few who are using projector setups to display maps on the table. I just wish Kobold would put in a players map which would make things easier. Hypelinking the map to the adventure would be great. Over all Kolbold is doing a great job of the pdfs. [/QUOTE]
