Picked up a few of these with the PDF versions of the AP and I really like them. They would actually solve a lot of hassle we go through with drawing full blown maps, fold-out maps, dry erase markers, trying to hide certain parts of the map, etc. I had the brilliant idea to put them on my tablet (Asus Transformer with Android Ice Cream Sandwich) and take it with me and project the maps onto a larger screen with a mini-HDMI cable.
As it turns out though the interactive features will not work on the tablet in any PDF viewer I've used so far, Adobe viewer included, and I was wondering if anyone else has successfully attempted this or knows of a solution to make this a possibility without going out and picking up a full blown laptop.
Any help everyone can offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks. :)
Dot.
Dotting means you post in a thread so that the dot icon appears next to the thread name when looking at the list of all threads. I believe you can also find the thread by going to your account. Essentially, they want to see what is said but doesn't have much to say themselves.
Or didn't have time to reply as I was working on other stuff.
I recommend using a Laptop. A tablet would be difficult to use simply because you need to finagle somethings.
Most of which will ruin the Tablet if done wrong.
If you have a Keyboard Dock for it they might work but I doubt it.

No, Paizo has said that for some technical reason the interactivity doesn't work with tablets (though I can't see how you could "ruin" a tablet by using them).
As Fayth said, a laptop or netbook is the best way to use them on the go, which is sad if you don't have one. You can ALSO set up the map ahead of time, showing just which elements you want, take a screen shot, and use the image of THAT on your tablet, which is what I do.
By ruin I meant the only way to get them to work is to Root/Unlock the tablet.
If done wrong it will ruin the tablet.
You can find the exact wording detailing why the Interactive Maps aren't tablet (specifically iOS) friendly in our FAQ. Basically, the applications for these devices are not written with these features in mind.
It appears that he has a Android tablet. Do you know if any apps will support that? Or would you know be aware of that?
If you can get PDF Pro Reader for Android it might could use the features. Though it is 9.99 or 19.99... can't remember which.
