Is there a forum or email i can send a question about a particular .pdf to? I'd like to know some details about the Art of AD&D available in the downloads section, before making a purchase. Specifically, the dpi it was scanned at, and whether the pages are full-bleed or not. I'd like to possibly print some of the images, but I need to know if they're print-quality scans, as well as whether the watermark will cover any of the images. Any info would be appreciated.

Yalius,
Asking such things here is just fine, or you could e-mail customer.service@paizo.com.
As for the Art of AD&D book, I suspect that the PDF would not be ideal for your needs. Best I can tell, scans appear to have been either done at (or downsampled to) 150 dpi, but the quality of the scans leaves much to be desired - they're very dark, and lacking in contrast. The pages of this PDF appear to be cropped less than many Wizards PDFs, but I'm pretty sure the gutter edges are trimmed short. And, like most Wizards PDFs, a lot of pages are a little bit crooked.
I haven't created a watermarked copy, but, looking at the layout, I think the watermarks would fall into the extra-wide margins on most pages, but I suspect it would be imposed inside images on others.

Thank you for the REALLY fast reply. I'm still mulling over whether to pick it up or not, it's just not a given.
