Pathfinder Player Handout Downloads

[Big Jake]

Paizo Crew:

I'm gearing up to run Curse of the Crimson Throne, and I'm now looking at the APs with a more DM-oriented eye. Now that I'm getting my handouts ready, I realize how much I depended on the "Dungeon Resources" downloads when I was running SCAP and AoWAP.

I prefer to show my players the pictures of the NPCs, and usually give out printed material to be added to the campaign journal. Though I have the PDFs as part of my subscription, printing out some of the handouts is tricky at times, and printing out the pictures of the NPCs is beyond tricky, due to the colored backgrounds and wrapped text.

Can we get a download for handouts and artwork (minus the maps, since those are sold separately) for us to use?

Thanks,

Jake

You should be able to export the images from the PDF. I can usually either drag and drop them or use the selection tool in Acrobat and copy/ paste them into a graphics program. Then you don't have to deal with the text.

Oh...

Well, then...

Thanks!

That wasn't something I was familiar with using Adobe. I'm usually all about the little camera icon thing. (That's the actual technical name, by the way.) ;)

Hope that's enough detail... this computer doesn't have acrobat installed and I don't recall the exact method

True.

Actually using OpenRPG, I have made characters for the first two adventure paths. I was able to cut and paste their actual pictures on the icons, take text-backround and blocks from the PDF itself, and program all their attacks with macros and put all the handouts in icons as well.

PDF's and a photoshop program basically can make any handout you need. I'm thinking about using something like OpenRPG even for regular tabletop use plus a laptop because of how useful it is during play.

for pictures it's pretty easy as well... I've done this on one or two occasions. Just copy it into photoshop directly or if you cannot because it's a flat image then just copy the entire area with the cam and erase the text around it.

When I try to open a PDF in Photoshop CS2 I get security issues and can't open it. And similar problems with Acrobat 7.0, I can't copy images, but can copy the text.

Is there a setting somewhere I need to alter?
