For future editions would it be possible to put the book number first and then the page numbers in multiple pdf book copies? At first this isn't bad, but to keep the links active you have to leave the names the same and all the books get jumbled up since it is sorting by page numbers at first.

Either that or you have to manually rename them all and lose the indexing. Just a thought.
Thanks.

The only products that have internal hyperlinks are the Core Rulebook and the Bestiary... and as long as you're keeping them in their own individual folders, they'll be sorted correctly and the links will work. Are you saying you dump all of your files into one big folder or something?

I do - or at least my own sort (religion, location- places like Korvosa, varisia and westcrown even having subfolders, adventure, bestiary, group, and misc)

I have everything with multiple files in its own directory. Then I make shortcuts to the files and put those into directories of whatever categories I'm organizing by. That way I can have (for example) an entire AP book in one place where I can find anything in it sorted by that particular book, while still having separate directories containing all the Pathfinder's Journals or Bestiaries in one place together for quick reference without taking up tons of drive space.

Well, we're definitely not going to be changing the file names for Core Rulebook and the Bestiary, because that would force us to redo all of the inter-chapter links in those books, which is a pretty painful process.

For other books, renaming the files on your end doesn't break anything, so that's probably the way to go.
