Permission to make our own pawns for APs

Given the recent(ish) changes to pawn availability, I was wondering if there was an official word on whether the permission given in the FAQ to print a copy of pdf materials we own extended to printing extracted images? Particularly, as someone without a printer of my own, I'd like to take the creature images from my copy of Strength of Thousands and get them commercially printed (albeit for personal use) so I can glue them to some card and use them as pawns in my campaign, is this something I'm allowed to do? I'm sorry if this is something that's been covered before, I did search but couldn't find anything addressing this specific use-case.

Thank you for asking!

The permission listed in the FAQ is for one copy of any Paizo pdf. This would include text, images, maps, and other assets contained in the file.

If you think there will be an issue with your printer, you can take a copy of the FAQ with you as well. I have heard of this method being used in some places where printers are concerned about copyright issues.

Does the permission being for only one copy preclude me printing double sided or printing multiple pawns for enemies that appear in groups but only have one piece of art?

No, you can make the number of copies of a pawn that you need to run that adventure. Two-sided is fine.
