GianniVacca Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Has anybody managed to print out the damned thing? Because of its weird structure (two physical pages per single PDF page) I can't print it out satisfactorily.

drablak Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I had to install Adobe Acrobat Reader to be able to print anything (or even see the map of Apple Lane). My other PDF viewers/editors do weird things, like print black boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I looked at the PDF download file on chaosium.com in adobe acrobat and it has each page set up individually. I am not sure when you last downloaded the file but it might be worth downloading it again. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Mine comes up as the double page view too, but easy to change. And Print seems to come out fine as single pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try that the option to change the page display to Single Page is greyed out 😞 Quote 「天朝大國」，https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/92874/celestial-empire 很有意思: http://celestialempire.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drablak Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm on a Mac, I tried with PDF Expert and Preview. All the other PDF were fine, the only problems in viewing that I had were that the map of Apple Lane didn't show up (at all), and the background of the artisan character sheet didn't show (but the skills, etc, did). And for printing, everywhere there's a fancy border in the GM screen or the GM Reference, there would be a black square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check you have the latest version of both PDF expert and the GM Screen Pack: Click for larger images. Both print fine.

drablak Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I re-downloaded the files and made sure I had the latest version of PDF Expert (Version 2.4.13 (584)).

Julian Lord Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 If all else fails, you could try getting it printed up for you at a photocopy shop ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we are running nothing older than MacOS High Sierra and MacOS Mojave as operating systems. Which version of MacOS are you running @drablak? There were changes introduced to MacOS in previous versions that updated PDF behavior. I'm running the latest version of the system (Mojave 10.14.1).

Only other thing I can think of (in the toolbox of the usual Mac fix-up stuff) is to try the "hold shift on startup and let system run a repair" diagnostics and/or grab a copy of Onyx and rebuild font caches, et al. Thanks I will try that. It works with Adobe Acrobat for some reason so I'm good, but I'll give what you suggest a try. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
