[QUOTE="Grell, post: 5904639, member: 6692542"] I'm not planning on merging other company's proprietary content; this is a demo of what a company (like Paizo) would do with its own content, so copyright infringement isn't really an issue. As for mergin PDFs, yeah that's old news, but your talking about on a page by page basis; with this technique it's merging the content of chapters and pages together to create a truly blended result. I'm not suggesting that this would replace the option for individual books, but as an additions option for using that content... I mean imagine if you wanted to break up e content of a PDF but that content is on multiple pages along side content you don't want, what do you do then? The advantage here isn't just to merge books, but selectively choose content from those books too, like if you had your home PF game and certain archetypes weren't allowed, you could get a custom PDF with just he content you want and then have it printed on demand... Got someone new playing a fighter? Print our a rule book for him that has only fighter relevant information. You can even go further in terms of setting up alternate content for books, like different art work that is oriental or Arabian nights themed to replace the stand art on demand... Want to use far east stuff? Merge the classes and equipment in, swap the artwork and get your new book. With the proper licensing, third party stuff could be included, and you could even have 1st party content that is smaller than a full book (like web content is now) that is automatically merged into the full thing.
