Which Mongoose Traveller PDFs are Bookmarked

[DigitalMage]

I find that in order for a PDF to be used easily as a reference it is vital that it must be bookmarked, unfortunately in the past Mongoose didn't include such bookmarks in their PDFs, but apparently they do now.

So, which Traveller PDFs are Bookmarked? Also, how extensive are the bookmarks? Just chapters? Chapters and section headers? Are there bookmarks for maps, ships etc?

Thanks in advance!

All of them - if you find one we have accidentally missed, let us know, and we will update it!

Seriously? That is excellent news! I will redownload the PDFs I haev already bought (core book and Spinward Marches) and am now very tempted to purchase the PDF equivalents of all the LBBs that I have bought physically, especially in light of the Christmas in July sale.

Thanks!

I just re-downloaded Traveller Core Rulebook and Spinward Marches from DriveThruRPG and neither contain bookmarks. The file sizes are slightly larger than my previous downloads (19KB bigger for core, 29KB for Spinward).

Am I doing something wrong or have these been missed?

I have to concur with the lack of bookmarks in many of the pdf's. I just bought Darrians a couple of days ago, and it wasn't bookmarked (and is secure so I can't add my own). I haven't re-downloaded any of my older pdf's but of those, the majority are secure and lack bookmarks...

I just checked my PDFs. Purchased from rpgnow.com. I checked for updates and only saw 1 for merc.

The following PDFs were bookmarked:
Civilian Vehicles
Central Supply Catalogue

The following where not:
760 Patrons
Library Data
Agent
Dilettante
High Guard
Mercenary
Merchant Prince
Robot
Core Rulebook
Traders and Gunboats.

Maybe something in the watermarking process is upsetting certain types of bookmarks?

Picked up 1001 characters

It also has no book marks.

Spinward marches map pack has none but it is just one page.

I just went and downloaded my purchases from DriveThruRPG (to make sure I have the latest versions) and the following are secure and have no bookmarks:

Core Rulebook
Traders and Gunboats
Psion
Spinwards Marches
Darrians
Zhodani
Fighting Ships
High Guard
Sector Fleet


CSC was bookmarked

If these are all supposed to be bookmarked, could there be a problem at DTRPG in it's PDF preparation process?

Not a general problem, I have quite a lot of bookmarked and watermar-
ked PDFs from DTRPG, old ones as well as new ones. If there is such a
problem, it seems to affect only Mongoose's products.

Matt - in light of the fact that it seems most Traveller PDFs are not bookmarked, is there any chance of looking to rectify it? Cheers!

 

[MongooseMatt]

Yup, we will be looking at all of these and updating them (if you already have them, you'll be able to download the update for free) over the next few weeks.

Thank you for updating these.

Great news! If you could Tweet when a PDF becomes available in bookmarked format that would be great (I don't ask much do I?)

Any updates on this, really looking forward to seeing bookmarks

 

[MongooseMatt]

Just clearing a few last projects, and we will be launching into it (once we start, we'll get through them quickly).

 

[gravedigger118]

Awesome news!

 

[DigitalMage]

Any update on this? I just re-downloaded the Traveller core book and still no bookmarks.

This lack of bookmarks (or at least uncertainty over which PDFs are bookmarked) is stopping me buying Mongoose PDFs.

 

[MongooseMatt]

We have actually done this, but I am not too happy with the results - we'll give them one more sweep, and we should be good to go.

Glad to hear you're still pursuing this, make sure you tweet about it when it happens
