Cabezone's page

I just downloaded one of these supposedly lite downloads. They are still terrible, giant, and slow. I won't buy another thing from you until you start offering a version that puts function ahead of form.

I will say they are significantly faster than the original terrible PDFs but not enough.

I'm talking about my actual experience with the website. My friend that showed me the Pathfinder book didn't even know what I was talking about when I said there's two product lines. He thought their 3.5 stuff was for the Pathfinder players guide because it's not a new system, just a modified 3.5.

It needs to be made much more clear that these are two distinct products for new people. It doesn't matter that veteran Pazio fans know what's going on.

It would be great if Pazio can start releasing optimized PDFs that are fast; just do whatever WotC did to achieve such PDFs.

Totally agree. There is definitely something wrong with Paizo's PDFs - they are extremely big, bloated, and slow.

Especially painful when you see PDFs from other companies (WotC, Goodman Games) whose PDFs open and can be paged through lickety-split.

I can't speak to Wizards PDFs, as I've never actually seen one from 3rd Edition or newer, but the difference between our PDFs and Goodman Games' PDFs is that we have full-color artwork and page backgrounds throughout. Also, if you're comparing, say, one of their 32-page adventures to our all-in-one 100-page AP, that also makes for a big difference in both file size and performance.

I find the PDF's on this site to be incredibly slow, to the point that they interfere with using them. Even the small player's guides turn pages slowly. Is there anyway to turn off features like the background art or something to speed them up? Full length players guides from Wizards turn pages instantly and the ones from here have a noticeable lag.

I'm new to this website and it was not made very clear that Pathfinder is both a new rules system and a campaign world. This was a very poor choice. I bought an older pathfinder module figuring it would work with the new rules and it turns out it's 3.5. It should be made clear in product descriptions whether it is designed for old 3.5 or the actual Pathfinder rules.

I find the entire website difficult to navigate.
