Our PDFs Don't Suck


We know what you're afraid of.

We know that every PDF you've ever read on your computer screen has made you curse.

We know that you've hated every minute you spent scrolling through a PDF designed for printing, not reading on your screen.

Ours are better.

We spent weeks meticulously designing a PDF layout that is specifically designed to look beautiful on the screen. A layout that is a joy to read.

  • Designed to fit your screen perfectly. No more scrolling.
  • Easy to navigate. Flick your arrow keys to page through, as easy as a real book!
  • They're beautiful. Really. Stunning.
  • Portable. Save to your desktop and read on a plane or on the beach!

    Subject: Nice PDF Formatting!!

    Hey you guys, Seth's new book is formatted better than ANY .PDF I have ever seen!

    It's a perfect size, the fonts are attractive, the colors are great, and best of all, I loved sitting back in my chair and use the right-arrow key to stroll along thru the book.

    CONGRATS on a job well done. If you wouldn't mind either dropping me a note or posting how you formatted the document to do that.

    thanks. great stuff, all around.

    Subject: typeface you use

    Really like the design of the manifestos. Which typeface do you use for the title (e.g., of the Guerilla Marketing manifesto)?

    Subject: A question about your site design

    Who did your site design and/or the design for the manifesto PDFs? Both are spectacular, and I wouldn't mind hiring that kind of talent to help with some current and future design projects.

    Warm Regards,

    Their manifestos use a clever slide show style PDF which made for easy reading. - The Program Witch Pages


    I'm not generally a big fan of PDFs unless the document is intended specifically to be printed, so when I first looked at the site, this seemed like a big downside. But to my surprise, the PDFs they've created have gone some way towards making me think again about what PDFs can be good for, because they've done some smart things... - John Dale's Blog


    a good-looking PDF format for getting across "bigger" ideas than fit in a blog entry and built a sweat little website around those PDFs that makes them searchable, supports trackbacks, etc. These people understand a lot of the web... - LSD:Reload
