Issue 103 file size

Nikosandros · 05-21-2017, 01:39 PM

The file for the latest issue of Pyramid (#103) is very large compared to all the other issues (over 64 Mb). I was wondering about the reason for this difference.

There is a very large high res map in that issue. Which is why it's so big.

And because of the company's anti-DRM policy, it's possible to use PDF tools to extract the 10,800 × 4,800 pixel image and do useful things with it, like zooming in to an area of campaign relevance. Thanks!

I hadn't realized that the map was of such high resolution. It is indeed very nice that the PDF is DRM-free making it possible to use the map.
