I print them out, slide them into plastic sheets, and drop them into binders.

It works out best for adventures- since I tend to photocopy the print ones just so I can make notes and alterations right on the page.

I use Adobe's free online pdf-to-text converter, turn 'em into text files and cut and paste the chunks I want to use into my own material and pass them off as my own.

My players think I'm brilliant.
 


I have all core books, splatbooks, like 40 adventures, all FRCS books, Shadowrun books, Rokugan/OA books, greyhawk... and a whole lot more of second and stuff on PDF and it suits me well since it costs heaps of money which I don't have and this is a easy way to own them and look into them. And for casual use a print or 2 so now and then for a feat a class a description and such (and whole adventures although I'm looking for a laptop, wouls solve the printing prob.)

I think you should probably keep your boasts of possession of illegal copies of RPG material of the board.

Cool! Now that you mention that, I can think of a few books that can use this treatment.
