They were indeed designed that way. Unfortunately, the new one came back a bit darker than the others, so it's not as visually flawless as we'd have liked, but stuff does line up right.
Worked out really well for me today.
I bought this one in pdf today because I figured I could adjust the colors and then print it out instead of trying to track down a really dark one on ebay or wherever.WOW.
Opened the file and just hit the Auto Level Tonal Range button on the software....exported to pdf, ran it over OfficeMax and holy crap...its the best one of the PDF's Ive printed out yet.
I dont think Paizo messed this one up so much as the printer should have adjusted the colors before going to press.
I worked in offset printing for many years and I know that even before the digital age it was an easy enough process to correct colors before printing a big job.
Today its just a couple mouse clicks from a terrible print to dazzling colors, so there really was no excuse for the printer not to notice how dark the end product was going to be and show the Paizo reps that it could be brightened up a LOT and look 100 times better.
