Classic Traveller CD from Far Future

[ssheftall]

Ok, Far Future enterprises has the worst website ever. :-(

How good are the PDFs on the classic Traveller CD? Do they all print well, are they in page order(i.e. page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), ? 5.5 x 8.5 wide or a 11 x 8.5 spread? Bookmarked?, are they security free so you can bookmark them yourselves?

Looking to replace some books I got rid of in my youth :-( for use in Mongoose Traveller.

Thanx!

They're generally readable, without DRM. Some have muddled pages though (Atlas of the Imperium is a mess IIRC).

And yes, the FFE website is terrible.

What I've been noticing is that:
1) The PDFs are just scans of a physical copy (thus not editable)
2) There is no standard size the pages are cropped to.

BUT, if you don't print the cover, and then set the file to print 2 on the page, they print just fine, just like the preprint books.

One thing I do like about the PDFs is that I can have it up on the right side of the screen while I type it into MS Word on the left side of the screen (I love a laptop w/a wide screen)

There's a sticky topic on CT CD issues on the CotI CT sub forum here:

I haven't gone through my copy page by page, but so far the worst I've come across is an upside-down page here and there and slightly blurry text. It's not perfect, but it's a lot of material for $35 and I'm glad FFE makes it available.
