I am a big fan of Sovelior Sage for the 3.5 D&D ruleset and use it alot (especially as the PDFs for the PHB, DMG and MM were never released by WotC).
One of the big pluses was that it was available to download and use offline - so you didn't need a web connection to make use of it.
I was wondering whether a downloadable version of the PRD could be produced for much the same reason.
Also, I think it would be great to have some more direct links to subsections of the pages - I was struggling to find the Wizard Cantrips in the Spell List page the other day without having to use the Find in my web browser (ditto for grappling etc).
I ask a lot I know :)
On a sort of related note - is the PF RPG pdf hyperlinked internally at all? E.g. able to click on a spell name in the spell list and be taken to the page where that spell is detailed?
Cheers!
The downloadable version of the PRD is the Pathfinder Core Rulebook PDF for $10. It is searchable and hyperlinked.

How well hyperlinked is it? If it is good enough then that becomes an option. I will be using my Eee PC 901 which has a small screen and the searh results in Adobe is a small window to scrolll through, so hyperlinking and good and detailed book marks are good. I looked at the Beta PDF and it wasn't hyperlinked so I assumed the PF pdf might be lacking them as well.

They did a good job with hyperlinking on the PFRPG PDF.

This looks more like what I want and I have seen it before, but I was under the impression it was written for the Beta and being converted (which to me seemed like it could be prone to missing small changes).
Is it 100% updated for the final rules now? How confident is everyone that it is correct and not harbouring Beta holdovers?
EDIT: Also what the heck do I need to open RAR files??????!!!!

According to the Thread it is the PRD, though it may have errors that where not corrected with the Erratas.

If you don't trust it, you can always make your own localised version using HTTrack. It worked for me, and I believe that's exactly what jreyst did.
The PDF is really good linkwise.
And after re-personalising/re-downloading always with the new errata built in.
The d20srd.com site is good edited, but I wouldn't bet on it to be accurate everywhere.
The downloadable pdf I have was made from the PRD website, not from d20pfsrd.com. If there are any rules errors they come from the source. I created this by using htttrack to download the site, made a lot of html changes (stripping out colors and images and all stylesheets and links to external pages) then put it into a pdf and did a filesize reduction in adobe.

7-Zip will work.

Thanks, I will look into downloading this and seeing if it works.

I downloaded the two RAR and was going to extract them into the same folder but they seemed to share some files, I chose not to replace the files from part 1. When i opened a page it had errors - any idea what I am doing wrong?
I work in IT so it worries me that it is so problematic for me to download something when Sovelior Sage was so easy to download and use.

I apologize if the thing I provide for free is not as good as the other thing you received for free. You only need to extract from the first file, it will get what it needs from the other file.
I see I'm going to have to simplify this, sorry.

The PRD and Core Rules PDF contain exactly the same hyperlinks.
