Is there permission given anywhere to print out PDFs? I want to print out my Planescape PDFs but Kinko's is being totally paranoid. I asked the customer service guy at RPG.now and he just said to find another copy place. He never answered if permission is given anywhere to print them and he also didn't say where else I could go.

I'd ask the company you bought them from (likely rpgnow.com or paizo.com), or find out from Wizards of the Coast (who owns the copyright, after all). I can't imagine why they wouldn't be, though; that's what PDFs are for.

Yes but Kinko's lacks that logic train. Nevermind that they printed out Deadlands PDFs out with no questions.

Try again when someone else is working there. The Kinkos here in San Francisco is notorious for its erratic service/quality. You got to get them on a good day, when the competent manager is around.

Look around near college campuses. For example near mine there's a place called sir speedy - it's local as far as I can tell - but it's the place the university uses for all it's classes for quick booklet printoffs. Universities are your most likely location to find competition for kinkos.

Also may want to try office depot or staples.

Is there anywhere I can find actual PERMISSION to print out the PDFs? I mean I paid money for it and then I cant even print it out? It seems stupid no actual permission is given with the PDF to print it out if thats supposed to be the purpose of a PDF.

Why are you asking us - it's not something we could give you, we don't have those rights. Who did you buy the PDFs from?

Asking you cause no one else seems to know and your the Planescape experts right now. I bought my PDF from RPGnow.com.
