When looking at the core book with the Linux version of Adobe's
Acrobat Reader, the archetype images looked way darker than they
should. This seemed to be a problem with the program rather than with
the PDF, as the darn thing showed just fine in Windows.
Recently, I've mostly switched to Evince to read PDFs, since it's
lighter and a bit more responsive than Acrobat. There, I've run into
another particular problem with "On the Run" and "Runner Havens", the
other two files I've bought from DTRPG.
Some pages in these books have these semi-abstract decorations in the
background, behind the text - it's mostly the first page in each
chapter, tough they do show up in a few others. On Acrobat, they
display just fine. On Evince (the official Gnome PDF reader, which
uses the Poppler library to render the files), they jump to the front
of the page, covering up the text.
It's very likely that this is also a problem with the program I'm
using, but I just wanted to know if someone else had these problems.
It's as good a reason as any to start up a conversation on this list
:).
