I think we should make a special topic for it.

Baka-Tsuki itself has no dedicated PDF manager. Pretty much Editors/Translators make PDFs for their respective projects and make a thread in said project's forum. Problem is they go out of date fairly often.

Yes carj's PDFs are quite high-quality. We could give him the title of official PDF maker for more incentive...Although he does not seem to need it.

Well, I think he is already it de facto.

By the way, if you're implementing something like that, I suggest taking a look at this thread (CarVac's posts). It's quite easy to keep the PDFs up-to-date this way. That's also how I made the PDF for Gekkou (I wrote myself a script that converts the respective Wiki pages to LaTeX, and from there it's only a step to PDF). Though I guess opinions of how a PDF looks best may differ. :D

/random rant
The latest Adobe Reader does by default not adopt the properties one defines for one's PDF, showing my generated PDF in the one-page layout. :/

Well if we could get someone to make a sticky of how to do it in plain terms then I think we can do that.

^^^^ lol, title would look awesome but yea i dont need it xD, as long as i have a computer, baka tsuki is still running and i have a little free time i dont plan on quitting making the PDFs, since im already hooked in reading various light novels

and yea i also think its better when its human made, not only u can format it the way you want but u also spot any errors like missing images or doubled paragraphs xD

another thing u could do (dunno if its possible or allowed) put a link in the project main page to the thread w/ the pdf, or even the links to the pdf themselves, i could try doing that n try to keep it up to date if its ok, just need to play a lol w/ the wiki to see how it works xD

Do you mind if I use your releases in future torrents?
