Web Feature - PDFs from the Website was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
Something I've been wanting to do for a while, and the technology is finally becoming available to the point I am happy with it, is the ability to save a PDF of a page right from the website to your PC without getting all the menus, etc. cluttering it up.

In the upper right corner of a page (such as the Rulebook), you will now see a PDF icon next to the Print icon.  If you click this, the page you are viewing will be saved as a PDF to  your computer.

I'm still working out a few odds and ends, such as fonts, images position, headers & footers (so it will show you the date the file is created), etc.  For now, I am leaving it enabled as it's immensely useful.  Once I have some more of the features worked out, I'll post here, and begin to work on an updated "master copy" of the Online Rulebook in PDF format.

Update: The PDF system broke other parts of the site, namely the forums - it has been disabled for now.
