Formatting of PDFs (Scrolling issues while trying to read the PDFs)
I don't really know where to put this so I hope this gets seen and taken into account by the staff at Paizo.
While trying to take a cursory look through the rulebook PDF I kept getting more and more frustrated because if I scroll through it with the down arrow on my keyboard it goes half way down the page then jumps back to the top of the page before scrolling half way down again then jumps to the top again before quickly jumping halfway etc. For me this almost makes the PDF unusable.
Plain and simple there's 2 columns of text so it should scroll all the way down the first column before jumping back to the top of the page for the second column then go all the way to the bottom of the page and onto the next page.
I also noticed at one point that as I was scrolling through it jumped back to the previous chapter for some reason and then very quickly jumped forward again.
If the idea was to make using the arrow keys a pain in the backside then mission accomplished otherwise I would change it and replace the file in your downloads section because this makes me not really want to spend any more time looking through the book and that's really too bad cause I was looking forward to joining a playtest group on Roll20. I might try again come morning but for now I'm just going to close it for the night. It might not have been so bad if this had happened on a night when it wasn't 32 degrees C with humidity at 66% and no AC but then it is summer.
I think that is probably a problem with your PDF reader than with the source, it worked fine for me using arrow keys(using the Foxit Reader free pdf reader). But two column does work better for print than on a (small) computer screen as you don't have to scroll up to see the next column.
Also try setting your PDF reader to "continuous scroll" rather than single page scroll.
