I recently bought Emerald Spire and as I was reading through it I wanted to add my own bookmarks. I particularly like to add a section of bookmarks that take me directly to the maps. When I tried to create a bookmark I discovered that the PDF was locked up so tight I couldn't create my own bookmarks. I fully understand locking it to prevent copyright infringement but how does creating my own bookmarks threaten that? Paizo, you're a great company and I love your products, but this is going too far. Allow us to create our own bookmarks in the PDFs so we can enjoy the book in the way we want.
Thank you.
The last I heard, Paizo didn't have any options between fully-locked and fully-editable.
It is true that the addition of watermarks means that people can't easily do certain things with the documents that they might want to do—although page extraction and reassembly, as has been pointed out by others repeatedly, is *not* one of those things. Of those things, the only thing that people can't easily do that I really wish they *could* do is edit the PDF bookmarks. But because we currently must choose between "allowing easy editing of bookmarks" and "disallowing easy removal of watermarks," we choose the latter.
Hello Zindrel,
As Joana said, there are locked PDFs preventing any editing, and there would be completely unlocked that could conflict with our watermarking needs. If we could just enable bookmarking as an option, I can't imagine we'd have any problem with you being able to do so. That's the limit of the technology currently.
