Hi all! Please remember to submit bug reports through the service portal linked on the landing journal entry. That's the best place to make sure the developers see it. Thanks!
Why is Unavailable?
This is the VTT code product which requires the purchase of the PDF. If you do not own the PDF then check out the product description "note" to take you to the bundle page.
The pdf is not only a cost for the pdf as a file but a cost for the adventure itself. So the cost for foundry is the extra work it cost to make it into a module.
At least how I understand it.

Close. The FoundryVTT bundle is actually priced at what the foundry module costs to produce, and the PDF is then given for free. If you happen to already own the PDF then the foundry module is discounted by the PDF cost so you don't end up having to pay twice for the same content.
But your point remains, that the foundry module isn't intended to be on sale for $14 by itself. It contains all of the PDF contents and then is a "ready to be run out of the box" module that has everything from the PDF, and more, converted to FoundryVTT. It would make zero sense for the FoundryVTT module to cost less than the PDF while already including all of the PDF content, more usability, and additional content on top of that.

The Foundry module for one of our Adventure Path volumes is priced at $34.99, and contains everything that is included in the print or PDF version (as well as a number of things that aren't, such as the recreated hi-resolution maps, custom tokens for every NPC and enemy in the adventure, and audio files for all ambience and sound effects). The main reason we throw the PDF in as an added bonus is that as cool and comprehensive as these modules are, sometimes it's still nice to have the actual book on hand.
However, we learned early on in this process that a lot of people prefer to purchase the PDF first in order to read through the adventure before deciding whether or not they're interested in running it, which seems pretty reasonable. Unfortunately, anyone who chooses to do that (and ends up liking the adventure enough to then purchase the Foundry module) ends up paying full price for both the PDF and the module, only to end up with exactly the same digital assets as someone who buys the module sight unseen. That doesn't seem fair, so now we offer the Foundry module as two different options: a "bundle" version that contains both the module and the PDF, and a "code only" version (which should only be available to people who already own the PDF) which includes a discount equal to the price of the PDF.
TL;DR: The MSRP for the Foundry module is $34.99, but we've set things up so that if you also want the PDF, you shouldn't have to pay any extra. And if you don't want the PDF, that's cool; we still love you.

Hi there. I have the subscription so I own both the hard copy and the PDF. Having said that, today it no longer is showing unavailable, so mmust have been a website issue.
I own the PDFs for this adventure path as well as the #188 and both are showing as Unavailable when I go to my cart to purchase.

Weird. It's not something we have control over unfortunately. My best advice would be to try emptying your cart, clearing your site cache and cookies, and then trying again. Or another user reported it just fixed itself eventually (again, weird!)
If that doesn't work then you'll need to reach out to customer service (email at bottom of page). Good luck!

I have the hardcopy of The Seventh Arch. Does the $14 price also apply to those of us who have the hardcopy, or does it only work if you have the PDF?
I much prefer reading the adventure in hard copy, so I don't buy the PDFs, but it seems like the PDF is not actually needed to use the Foundry module. From what I understand from reading above, requiring the PDF is to ensure that we're still paying for the content, which should apply to the hardcopy as well, correct?
