Default Re: PDF Modding Guide and Map Edit Guide

We are talking about those PDFs in the doc directory that shipped with the game, right?

PDFs can be edited, but most people don't have the software. (Adober Distiller?)
Yep, there are some programs for that. Of course, PDF isn't really meant to be an editable document format.

But I think things like word can change themselves into a PDF (can write PDF, but not edit). So if we could wordify the original PDF, then have a working word doc (and PDF it for pretty release).
If by "wordify" you mean OCR, then that would be the obvious solution. AFAIK the structure of those files isn't very complex. Even in case only the text is retained, it will be easy to recreate the document afterwards. I'll look into it.
