I have the complete PDF of Dragon 360. That said, I'm hoping that there is a legal way to get single-file PDFs of the final pre-4th-edition issues (361,362,363) without subscribing to D&D Insider. If they still need content to be complete issues, how about stuff that was cut out of late 3.5 titles, like the pyramids under Ascore from Lost Empires of Faerun? (I've heard that was something that was cut, anyway.) I'm more than happy to pay a couple of bucks per issue, but a subscription to a service that is dedicated to a game system I'm not using is useless to me. Of course, having said that, maybe those last three issues are useless to me too, seeing as the content I saw online seemed heavily 4E-preview-oriented.

If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

-I have a one or two of those that I scanned onto my computer as big PDF files...
EDIT: Upon checking, no I am sorry, I don't have those. I was thinking the 350s, not the 360s.
-Those are the ones that WotC published online, right? Since they are all Adobe PDF files, all you need to do is save them, and then combine them in Adobe Acrobat Professional to make them all into a single file. And, there you go. |

Heh... yeah. I was just trying that earlier today... it seems that D&DI has now ended their free preview, or that was the impression I got earlier. I couldn't download any of the articles in question, at any rate. 
Oh... and there's also the complication of not having Acrobat Pro. |

-Try downloading them again tomorrow. The WotC site, today, has been all wonky.
-You can get some freeware out there, I believe, that lets you make PDFs. You'll probably be able to do the same thing with that/those. |

Thanks... I just finished downloading them now, and I have some of said software; already used it on a lot of other pre-4E stuff from wizards.com. 
The last of the pre-4E issues are now mine, barring additional content being added... which will probably happen after D&DI goes paid-only... and I will survive without that content.
Although... having the cover art would be nice.  |

-Transform a screenshot of it into a .PDF, and adjust the size, if need be! |
