As the subject says, I ordered the six Second Darkness books, and today when I went to get the PDF I realized I don't have access to it. I have PDF access for all the other books I purchased, so not sure what happened in this instance, but I really need that PDF.
Also, the books are 5 dollars each, and the PDF is a whopping 14 dollars. There's clearly a mistake when your digital copy is nearly 3 times the cost of the physical book, there's no way 14 dollars for a PDF is right, anyway just wanted to let you know about that part.
Thanks.
As far as I understand, the beauty of being an AP subscriber, as I also am, is that you get the PDF as a bonus for all APs released during your period of subscription.
However, for APs released prior to the commencement of your subscription, you do not receive the same benefit, if you subsequently order them.
Finally, it has already been hinted that there will be a PDF sale prior to the end of the year.
As Fabio said, you've received the PDF for your other AP issues as they were from your ongoing subscription. That is the only perk for many of their subscription lines.
PDFs are generally about 70% of the normal price of the hardcover, so $14.99 is correct for an AP PDF. You bought the hard copies during a bargain basement sale, so it is no wonder they were cheaper.
Correct.

Specifically:
After we ship your subscriber copy, you'll be able to download a PDF of that volume—a $13.99 value—for FREE! (Note that you only get free PDFs for releases shipped as part of your subscription; you do not get free PDFs when purchasing older volumes that are not sent as subscriber copies.)
Many of the older AP books are currently part of the Great Golem Sale (which runs through Nov 2nd), which is why the Second Darkness books are only $5.00 right now.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. Thanks!
