Video Tutorials

I tried copying from the adventure in the tutorial, and it doesn't copy very nicely.
You don't see if it's copied from the pdf, or from a prepared document in the video though.

Ok, but now try to prepare it then, I mean, just copy a couple of lines from the PDF to Wordpad or Notepad, and try to do anything like exporting in plan text or something to avoid this character at the end of each single line, nothing I tried works. I am very curious of the way he does it in the videotutorial, since it takes you a lot of work out.

Hmm, I just tried to copy from the pdf both to Notepad and to MS Word 2007 and then from there to FG.
Word fixes the formatting while Notepad doesn't (turn on show formatting).

So copy from pdf>word>FG seems to work.

In Acrobat reader I only have an option to save is as txt, and it doesn't work neither.
Did you paste it to FG and you don't have any spaced line between lines?

I highlight and copy (ctrl+c). That doesn't work on all pdfs though, scanned ones in particular.

mmm.. you're right. So now I know I have the problem with my PDF file, I am doing Heathen but in spanish, so I have a PDF file created from a OCR program, and this doesn't work on it, even it is a pdf file also, mmm... that's weird.

Yes, I tried the same with a rather poor scan of Red Hand of Doom, but the text got so messed up that it was faster to read from my paper copy and type instead.

Kaahen,

I have the exact same problem. I copy and paste from a pdf (English) to Word, Notepad or straight into FG and I have the extra lines too. I'm not sure how to get around it.

Well thanks anyway, I'll try to remake the pdf file again with other options, maybe it was the problem.

Xorn,

Thanks. I'm using the latest 4E_jpg ruleset now. I'm looking forward to the new update.

I have a question about the ruleset, which I'll ask in another thread though.
