Would anyone else like to a see a simple small size PDF of the AP maps? I love the interactive pdfs but they have a couple of problems:
1. I don't know what causes this but the existing PDFs can overwhelm tablets and PCs. They open very slowly and have caused freezes for me. This even happens on my gaming PC which should have more than enough resources to open a 5 page pdf.
2. Printing issues. Printing these are a pain in the butt. Often what comes out of the printer is not the same as what is on screen. I find it difficult to predict when the printouts will be missing gridlines/secret areas/room rumbers etc.
I like the interactive pdfs but I wish that Paizo would adopt a small is beautiful approach to all of their pdf documents. There are a lot of times I'd like to open an AP or rules document on my iPad but it so slow and clunky it isn't worth my time. I see a similar problem on older laptops too.
Hell yes! Maybe Paizo should do TWO Map PDFs. One for the GM, one for the player. Don't bother with grid/no grid bs or the like. It's unworkable! All I want is to be able to load the map without problems. I end up using the maps in the module PDF instead because it's hassle-free!
