However concerning the german ones, your work also emphasizes how horribly wrong the french side airfield representation from 1C is!

I sent you a PM 2 days ago. Have you read it?

I print now in b&w A5 size 600dpi, I can read all of the texts. I admit, it's small, but the 4-5 pt text still readable.

I just went around the corner to the (rather professional) copyshop to make that test with 600dpi on A5 - and your pdf refused to be scaled down to A5 because it being 'protected'. That protection seems to be rather effective : They tried every trick they knew with Adobe Acrobat but could not get it to the printer in any other format but A4. Other pdf-viewers might (and PDF-XChange Viewer does) ignore that protection, but they didn't have any and I've got no 600dpi color laser capable to print on 200mg paper... Is that 'protection' really necessary?

Fine.

PS: For your compatibility list
- Android 3.2 (Galaxy Tab 10.1N), Polaris Office: Slow, but ok.
- Android 3.2 (Galaxy Tab 10.1N), Kingston Office: Shows all, but with errors in layout (nothing you can do about)
- Android 3.2 (Galaxy Tab 10.1N), builtin ebook reader: Slowish, but ok.

Today I printed in A5 format... Adobe Acrobat Reader - Print - Setup - 2 pages per sheet (Paper size A4)... and click OK. How tried you scale down the document?
The editing isn't allowed, but the High Res Printing allowed, all other settings is printing or printer settings...

That's one of the things they tried... Maybe German versions of the Acrobat are stricter I'll investigate further and report here.

PS: Other PDFViewers (e.g. PDFXChange Pdf Viewer) make no trouble , but that's not what they have where they can print on 200mg (cardboard)paper.

I too got them printed recently. The printer said they were protected but had no issue printing at A5.

Fantastic work VO101_Tom, thank you very much!

Intersting. The testpage 2 and 3 contain very few vector graphics (almost the same, the 2 contain linked bitmap, the 3 don't), if the iPad can handle the 2, it should handle the 3 Maybe the reader load the next page while you see the actual page? And it crashed when try to load the huge map on the page 4? (that map causes problems on my PC too. But it is attached 2 times, before I render the final pdf from Indesign... That stupid attach/link system already pissed me off, and now this... )

In the worst case, when i finish the sheets, I made bitmap export, and it will be printable like any picture collection.

i use it on iPad3 with GoodReader , i have no proplems-sure, sometimes slow loading but no crashes.
And thanks for the work btw

Ah, the woes of being an early adopter then... I have an original iPad so it must be a memory thing then. Funny, it's the first time I've run across this issue. Good to know, thanks.

Try this (crash, performance, readability of the small fonts...):

EGKB_Biggin_Hill_v5_WIP_Ps.jpg

Simple jpg, export from Illustrator (The Ai is a 32 bit software, when i wanted to export directly from Ai, i got error message, that I have no enough memory for this. The 64 bit Ps can import the Ai file, and save a jpg easily... it seems, the attached map is the problematic part of the files, i will try, that I attach a jpg instead of Ai...)

Thanks for taking a minor request into account! Yes, the .jpg works just fine without any issues. I made a PDF with this pic and am able to view it with GoodReader and iBooks perfectly. Thanks for the test.
