I have a large number of Pathfinder PDFs from Humble Bundle, however they are locked. I am unable to bookmark them or write any notes in them. Both things i like to do before running a module. And while them having my email address watermarked on them is annoying, it is not the end of the world.

Are there official PDFs that you can edit? Or do I need to check with Anna?

    So normally I download the pdf, then toss it into books on my iPad. I like books because it paginates like a book left to right. Rather than top to bottom.

    I will try making a copy of it on my laptop and see if that changes anything.

      Oh I wonder if Books is a little less feature-rich because it’s more of a (book) reader than an PDF reader/annotator.

      I use GoodReader and have used PDF Expert as well in the past. Both have really good annotation support, and they both have an option for pagination as well.

        I am able to bookmark and highlight sections in Books in other pdfs. But none that I have purchased from paizo.

        It also has a writing feature that I use my stylus to add my own notes.

          Yeah you’re right, that would drive me nuts. I like having my tools that work.

          I wonder if they have some sort of write protection set at the PDF level, so you’d have to import it into like the Acrobat editor and remove it.

          I would definitely try to find one online and see if I could annotate that one. No doubt.

          I wonder if they’d get back to you if you explained the predicament to Paizo customer support.
