| Excellent Jeff! LMK when you have it going, and I'll get it set up on the downloads page. |
I just finished with the first pass of it. Ran into a few problems with fonts, image sizes but it turned out decent. I placed it at link removed for you to take a look at.

Wow, that's nice now! 
Just a couple of things to tweak. The back ground should fill the entire page, and we need some side borders. The text touches the very edge of the page. I'm guessing it should be .75" borders all around? Also, add a space between the line that separates the stats from the Appearance paragraph.
And that's it. It'll be perfect!
Which font is that, btw? Does anyone have the font that they used for the 2E Monster Manual? I'd like to use the same one.

Check out THIS PAGE for D&D related fonts.
I also posted this link in the 3rd Ed thread in the General Discussion boards because a similar question was asked.

It touches the side of the paper? I am getting a mixed impression of what you are wanting. You say the background should fill the entire page and the text touches the very edge of the page. I am looking at the PDF and understand what you are saying about the background but not the text. In the PDF I am looking at and the source I created to create the PDF, there is a border. Are you seeing something different?

I changed the border from .79 to .75.
Extending the background to the whole page is going to take a little more work with document formatting. It screws up a lot of the layout they way I have to do it.
I might have time today to do it but I'll probably have to wait until after work during the week. I have some campaign prep to do today..
Jeff
PS: Now that I know you have it, I will be taking the copy of the pdf down from my site. |

It has been a while so I'll ask again. Does the test pdf look the way you want it to? |

I through this together fairly quickly but it is all one PDF at the moment.

Once I get my Adobe Professional up and running again I can make the PDF have a table of contents that when clicked on will take you to that monsters page.

Excellent! Is there any way you can get the parchment background in it?

Do you have a png of the background. I tried copy and paste, printing directly from the internet as a PDF and saving the page as is but the background would not come with it. I can do a work around for it to add it but if you have a png of the background I can easily expand it and make the page have the background.
