Any news on when the following 14 Dragon issues are going to be in PDF format?

Issues: 251,252,254,261,262,263,265,274,275,277,278,279,284, and 290

Thanks,

Our priorities, which balance customer demand, the ease with which we can clear rights, and the availability of source files, generally get ranked like so:

1. Paizo issues
2. Wizards 3rd Edition issues
3. Older issues, which probably won't happen until we've taken care of all of the sold-out issues in the first three groups.

We expect to be putting up a bunch of issues from the first two groups in the not-too-distant future, but I can't provide a list or a timetable right now.

I figured as much and that looks like a good formula. I'm probably just antsy because I am more a craft than crunch sort and for that kind of information the edition of D&D or even game system doesn't matter (much.)

Thanks for the info.

Bring on issue # 310 ("Fighters"), the first issue for v.3.5!

Through repeated use, I've worn out 2 of my 3 copies (and I'm even extra careful with them!) - I'll never open my 3rd copy.

310 has been available in PDF form for quite some time.

Are the PDFs compatable (or can they be made compatable with) the Dragon Magazine CD collection?

.....Just hoping to have all my stuff in one place.

Still jonesin' for #278 and #279 here... ;)

This sort of goes along with the question about being compatable with the DRagon archive CDs ...

Are these Dragon PDFs you can buy from Paizo essentially scans of the pages or are they actual full featured PDFs created from the original files? For instance, can you select text from the PDF or is it just, as I said, a big static image of each page?

Thanks!

The downloadable PDFs of Dragon and Dungeon are created directly from the original computer files, not scanned. You can copy & paste the text.
