Make RealmWorks Usable for Actual Tabletop Gaming (Another Print/Export Thread)

[Farling]

I would think that you can export material that is not flagged as non-copyable?

I haven't seen any options in Realm Works yet for marking which topics and snippets are/are not protected.

They do not seem to have made that stuff available to us peons. I guess if we distribute any realms that do not qualify for the CM they do not qualify for DRM as well.

Protection is done behind the scenes. We don't have access to it.

As we already told you, you can print by the simple measure of exporting and using a community tool to convert. There actually are reasons why printing isn't available directly which are explained if you read the other threads on the subject.

Ultimately, this means that LoneWolf has lost a customer. If software doesn't do what I want without third-party hacks or ridiculous gymnastics, then it automatically becomes useless to me.

I'm going to uninstall HL and RW, and hope that some smart software engineers find a way to make their product meet my needs. If not, no harm no foul. I just won't waste any more money on this.

The only way to print content from Realm Works is with the third party tools. Works really well too.

It does raise the question though, if you are able to print out a PDF that you have legally purchased, then why can't you print everything from RealmWorks?

Whilst a PDF purchased from the Paizo store will have your account details on every page, could something similar be done with Realm Works to provide a similar "watermark" feature?

You won't be able to export content that they sell from the store. The protections in place stop that content from being exported. Thus the only stuff you will be able to print is the stuff you import themselves.

The only people who know the true answer to this question though is LWD. Ultimately it was never designed with printing in mind. It was always intended to be a digital tool. It may come one day, or it may not.
