Trouble with the Bestiary


Website Feedback


I've looked through the core rulebook and I've enjoyed it so far. I like the execution of it, and it looks nice so far. I can see noticeable differences already in Pathfinder 1e and this playtest. Of course I don't know the extent of the changes as I haven't gotten to play a game of either as my group will only play 5e! Nothing against 5e. I love the system, but I don't know anyone that will play anything else.

However my thoughts on the system are for another time when I've read through it all the way and really learned the system. What I'm having a problem with is the Bestiary. I don't know if this is a problem on Paizo's part or if my computer just sucks. But whenever I try to open it, I have to use Microsoft Edge to open pdfs on this computer by the way, it just says "Couldn't open pdf", and below that it said "Something's keeping this pdf from opening"
Again, I don't know if it's Paizo or me, but will someone please tell me if they've had problems like this so I know if it's Paizo or me? Please?


Do you have Chrome on your computer as well? YOu could try to open it with Chrome (I've used Edge before to open PDFs but also have used Chrome).

The other option is that Adobe has a free Acrobat reader you could use that you could read it with. That's what I am using to read the PDF's with. I haven't tried opening the playtest documents with Edge and on the computer I'm on right now, since it has Adobe already, Chrome and IE use the adobe extension by default.


It seems the "only bestiary" link is broken (I had he same problem too). But I managed to download it by downloading the full bundle with the button at the top (it will be listed as Bestiary.pdf) :)

I hadn't thought about that. I had downloaded the full bundle this morning as all one bunch. That worked (and the download went quick) and those are the PDF's I've been using. (It is a zip file so you do have to unzip it, but that should be easy with Win10).

I tried that and it worked. Thank you!

Probably worth posting in the website feedback forum to get this highlighted so that they can fix the problem - in fact I'm going to flag this to move this thread there.
