modifying pickaxe 2 pdf

[Peña, Botp]

Hi Dave and others,

I hope this is not a stupid question.

Is the pickaxe 2 pdf modifiable? I want to put notes, extra samples, links,
references, etc... and maybe include interactive forms (think acrobat v7)...

(do not worry, i haven't bought the pdf yet and the acrobat pro

Thanks and kind regards -botp

Just out of curiosity, anyone know if I'm entitled to the pdf for free as an
owner of (both of) the pickaxe book(s).

There doesn't appear to be a "free PDF" option. You can buy the PDF
alone for $25 or in combo with the paper book for $54.95.

Thanks - shame really, but there you go. I might just go and get it =20
anyway,
as $25 isn't too bad and saves me carrying it around.

Check out the very last page of the 2nd edition, there is a "Save on the =

PDF" section, you can get it for 10$. Just go to =20

We have no tagging such as this in the PDFs we distribute.

Not free, sub you can get it for $10--look inside the back cover of the
second edition.
