How to Print AHQ Reforged?

Hi there,

I downloaded the PDF's for Reforged and was looking to get everything printed through an online print store with a spiral bind - it's easier for me to digest the rules if I can see them physically and thumb through them. I wanted to bind up the rules into 1 book, appendices into a second, and the campaigns into a third book. Unfortunately I haven't actually printed a print-n'-play ruleset before and I'm a bit overwhelmed by everything. I see the covers for the various books and appendixes are a separate PDF file, but they appear to be sized differently than the rest of the books?

Does anyone have a straight-forward print and play website they recommend for a first-timer where I can drop this into and sort it out for printing? Thanks so much in advance!

I'd suggest printing the rules and appendixes (except for the Play Sheets) into one book and the campaings into a second one. The table on page 39 of the Play Sheets (with all the game actions) should be moved back to the core rules in my opinion. Tabbing the appendixes like this helps a lot, by the way.

Thanks, that was helpful! I'm curious if anyone has figured out how to print the covers for each of the books? The covers are all in one file, with both the front and back cover on one A3-sized page. Trying to get it printed digitally by uploading the PDF, OfficeMax and a couple of other US print on demand services can't seem to figure out how to break them up when the front and back cover are both on a single page. Curious how others might have figured this out - I'd like the prints to look nice.

Update: I was able to split them using the website sejda.com. They have a tool to split an A3 page into two A4's, then I used their split tool to subdivide each of those resultant pages into a separate PDF. That neatly extracted each page into its own book cover and back file to easily incorporate into an online printing service. Neat!
