I saw the regular book is 731 MB and the print friendly book is 135 MB. Each is only 145 pages. Are there any settings you could tweak to reduce file size? Running it through my usual compression program for PDFs was able to cut the big file in half, but that's still 350 MB.
I also realized every page is an image. None of the text is selectable. I'm not a PDF creation expert but when I create PDFs for other projects the text can be selected by default.
Thank you for reaching out. We just reuploaded the regular book at a smaller size and it’s now 294 MB, with the selectable text preserved.
One thing you were probably running into is that when you use .pdf compression software that isn’t Adobe, it usually converts everything into images, which removes the ability to select the text. That has been our experience, at least.
We will also convert the print copy into a version with the selectable text preserved, later today, so stay tuned! It currently does not support selectable text because we optimized it to be ideal for printing, rather than use as a .pdf.
Thanks for responding. I will check out the smaller files. Incidentally the original 731 MB file didn't have selectable text either. The compression software I use has never converted pages into images, which is why I love using it. Thanks again and have a good week.
Love the work that went into this, never have my synapse in my brian fired off all at once like this for a game and it's possibilities. I can not contain my excitement to play as zyran, my enemies will be crushed under my green movement.
