It's Preview, an application that comes bundled with OS X, and doesn't run on any other operating system, because Apple wouldn't like that.

I don't see why we shouldn't do it. After a month or so, everyone who would edit it would have done so anyway. Giving it a grace period before making a finalized .pdf would be a good idea.

hm... the sample looked really good, I hope this comes out soon.
It's been a while since the last post, though... does someone have an update on how the official version's going?

I feel kind of bad about this, because I've been slowly building up a massive list of discrepancies between the wiki translation and the stratos translation. About half or a third of these are non-trivial. Not sure if I should post it in the wiki or the forums though. Despite my current lack of wiki activity, I still prefer it for that kind of thing.

Well as i like to say, if it works, don't fix it.

it's now the 30 (13 days after last update).

Is the final version in its final stages, is it done (just not released), or still almost done? Or am I just stupid, and looking in the wrong place?
Its just that updates are so infrequent that I think everything's grinded to a standstill.

Translating/editing/making pdfs takes a lo0oo0ooooo0ng time...be patient ^^

You can't expect people to work on the project as if they had nothing else to do in their lives @_@

13 days isn't unusual. I think its safe to assume the project is definetly continuing.

Well,the lad who is doing the PDF, has veen busy and he is in the final stages of the PDF.

Mind you I haven't heard any updates from him lately, might be in something important that's delaying him.

Those things happen and you really can#t do much about them.

I'll just send him an remind and see whats going on.

Hi guys! Long time no see!

I've had so much to do lately, and my typography workstation has been out of order for quite a long while, but I'm actually working on the novel right now! (Well, not exactly, since I took a break from it to type this down.)

I'm really getting there now. My working pace is actually very fast, once I get into it. If I am able to continue at my current speed, I should be able to present a release candidate to the other staffers very soon, and hopefully it will be okayed by them then. In case of internal critics, I will have to work out that before the document is ready, but things will probably be fine like this.

While you're waiting, make sure to check out PHOENIX Project's new album, Mechanized Emotion! It's got covers of God knows... and Lost my music!

Now then, back to work!

じゃまた！

Hey keito I was just wondering whether the official PDF release is still being worked on.
I'm hoping to print them into a book in the future.
Is there much difference between your release and the one Molitar had released?

rilian · Post by **rilian** » Mon Oct 23, 2006 1:21 am

I would just like to say that I will be very happy when you finish this, because I will be re-binding vol 1 (I have already done molitars version) into a perfect bound trade paperback book when it is done, and I can't wait to see how it will look in print.

I'd love to have a PDF file! That way I can read the novel on my PDA or something. Also, if the website ever went down due to licensing the novel in North America... I could keep the novel

Official PDF release?

Should we do an Official PDF version?
