You need to go look at some of the PDFs that were legally bought and see what quality they are. You are still oging on about crap under TSR era, when the TSR line was scanned by WotC and turned into PDF. PDF format as exists has MANY ways to clean those scans using simple macros for the worse ones, and AGAIN, the main core books for ANY edition were scanned and OCR'd meaning the text is black on white.So leave Quark to his bar on DS9, and find out about what you are talking about. You keep harking back to TSR and the early days, well some were done on manual and electric typewriters, and even Chainmail from 1973 existed from RPGNow as a PDF. (I think, would have to check the wayback machine to find out.)WotC already did that work that you are talking about over a decade ago.So you need to stop preaching your history of publishing lesson that matters none what-so-ever, and get back to the topic at hand, or at least PLEASE talk about what people are talking about.If you disagree that the files exist in a form usable today that could be used for POD, then so be it. You are one of very few. The fact is the PDF files exist, they were made by WotC and were being sold, and the core books, that would be required to play the game, were OCR'd.What more do you want?Here is a 5 year old thread on ENWorld about the quality of the PDFs WotC made. <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/146763-rpgnow-pdf-quality-old-dnd-modules.html" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/146763-rpgnow-pdf-quality-old-dnd-modules.html</a></blockquote>
