I was gonna ask this question months ago, and then I forgot about it. I'm also pretty sure I know the answer, but I figured I'd check.

Will there be 'lite' PDFs available at launch?

I notice that Starfinder doesn't seem to have them, though I suspect the basic PDF is considered optimised enough. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what we're going to get with PF2.

Sovereign Court

At the page count of these books, I can't really see what you would do with an un-optimized PDF...

Didn't there used to be PDFs split into chapters?

The PF1 Core Rulebook I have in Lite, Full, and separate-file-per-chapter PDFs. I'd be surprised if they didn't do the same for 2e.

Prepare to be surprised then. They seem to have discontinued that feature in recent months.

Yeah? Like how? Has there been a large book released recently without the option? I don't have the Starfinder pdf so I've no idea other than the core rulebook and Bestiary 6 split pdfs I have.

You're right, it is the smaller books (adventure paths and campaign setting books) that they stopped making multiple versions for. Planar Adventures and Alien Archive 2 both have multiple PDF versions.

I really hope that they reintroduce these lite pdfs. they are just so much better if you are using a low power device to view them.
