I just wonder why the tags are set up the way they are within the document. Specifically, when I read pdfs I like to use the cursor to scroll through the document, but I noticed that with the personalization tag when I get to the bottom of the page it shifts the page up and down as it goes through the various objects. Why is the document not set up so that all these objects are scrolled through in chronological order? Is it a limitation of the pdf creating software you guys use? (This may seem a little nitpicky, but I find using the cursor handier and that way I just have to switch my finger between two keys rather than use the mouse and there is less up and down motion with this way of doing things. This is more of an irritant than a major problem for me, but I just thought there may be some rationale behind it).
I am not clear on what your complaining about, but if I do understand you I have to ask, do you know about those icons in the lower right corner of your PDF reader? They allow you to decide how you scroll through PDF documents.
If you do know about that feature then I am just confused about what is giving you a problem. Could you try describing it a bit more clearly?

I don't see any icons on the right side. There are some on the left in mine. I use Adobe Acrobat version 8 if that makes a difference.
The problem is when I go through the document line by line in the text (instead of moving the whole page) when I get to the end of the page, on the next page it goes to the end of the page where the personification tag is and flips up and down the page a few times while it goes through other objects (eg. artwork, page number, etc.) before moving to the text on the page. I just thought it would be easier if there was a way to set the document so that the pdf reader scrolls through the document in chronological order (ie. it scrolls through items on the page in the same order they appear on the page.)
Maybe I should be complaining to Adobe... I know little about programming, so maybe this is a programming issue with the software and not with Paizo per se, but on the surface I would assume the document layout could be chosen by the Paizo writer/editor who put it in pdf form.

Maybe you should clarify what you're doing...
Do you...
Click and Drag
Mouse wheel
Arrow key
Page up/down
To "scroll" through the document. If you click and drag, like it sounds, I can say I'm using Reader 8 and have no problems.
What PDF file are you talking about?
Have you tried redownloading the PDF?
There's quite a bit here that's unclear. :P

Is this what you are talking about?
The tags you are talking about are in the same box. That box is as big as the page with your name/email at the top and at the bottom.
What happens is that you scroll through the text on the page (game text) then when you are done it goes to the next text box on the page, which is the big personalized text box, reading the top line then the bottom line. Continuing on to the next page, rinse and repeat.
Why is it set up like that?
You'll have to ask one of the paizo guys...

That information would indeed help me look into this.Maybe you should clarify what you're doing...

Hmm. Looks like you're using the arrows. Yep, our watermarking software makes that somewhat less than ideal. Using Page Up/Page Down instead seems to work...
My personal preference is mouse wheeling. I'm a mouse wheeler. Sick, I know.
