Pdf release

I did my preorder through amazon so I'm not exactly sure when my book will ship. In the meantime I plan to get the pdf off paizo's site. When can I download is the question. If I wait up till 12:01 on the 17th is it available or is there a set time it will be live for download?

Midnight PDT, or 3 a.m. EDT

That's correct.

On a related note, I got a subscription for the free PDF (I want to get to the rules as soon as possible, but an extra 10$ just for that is a bit much), but I had already preordered the book before I knew about the subscription deal. Do I now need to cancel my original preorder, or does the subscription automatically supercede that?

Edit: Nevermind, found a bit that said the other order was automatically canceled today.

Is the expectation that all the other PDFs will also be available then, including the Starfinder Society Scenarios, Quests and pregens?

Inquiring minds wish to know :)

All of our August PDF products (which includes the SFS Scenarios and SFS Quests) will go live at that same time.

The pregens, however, are not subject to the product release schedule—they will be put up manually when they are ready, probably before the products go up.

This is excellent news for those of us silly enough to agree to GM Non-gencon SFS games on August 17th! Having access to the pregens early would mean we have less stuff to cram for once the core rulebook and adventures drop.

Oh, thank goodness! I really want to study those pregens!

It also means less printing on the day...I like to spread it all out. Being Australian I can't actually run stuff on the 17th as it doesn't drop until our evening.

Will the subscribers be getting the PDF when their order ships? Presumably before 8/17?

We have no current plans to alter how PDFs will be made available for applicable subscriptions.

Currently the free PDF is triggered when your order is processed for shipping (which means it has had its payment method settled against and we are preparing it to leave our warehouse).

Currently the warehouse is beginning to ship August New Release orders, however we are trying to get the Pathfinder only orders/packages out the door first and start in with Starfinder possibly late this week, early next week.

I'd like to remind folks that as subscribers, you will have access to your PDFs prior to the street date. It is not okay to to copy large portions of text from the book. Doing so may result in the suspension or removal of posting privileges.

Are you sure your payment has actually gone through? If it's just a pending charge then they haven't actually got to the point where you'd see your PDFs. You can also check to see if your paizo.com order is still Pending, FWIW.

You may want to check and see if the order is complete. It should say that. If it shows complete and the PDF is still not in your downloads you may want double check customer service.

Hello Natsu,

You have not been charged yet. What you are seeing is the authorization. When the order is placed the bank is pinged to make sure the card is valid. When this happens most banks will put a temporary hold on the funds, which can look like a pending transaction on your end. When the shipping label for your order is printed that authorization will be finalized into a charge, and the PDFs will become available on your account. You will receive an email when this happens. Your order is still waiting for its turn in the shipping queue.
