It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. You can easily substitute the fonts in InDesign using the find/replace font option.

They are Alverata, Attic Antique, Courier New, Fira Sans Condensed and Grunge. I haven’t included them for copyright reason, just in case. I’ve also done a rudimentary Table of Contents so you don’t have to set it up yourself (sorry, I couldn’t do an Index but I assume you know how to or are willing to learn).Ī preview PDF can be download from my Google Drive ( ).įonts: Most of the fonts used can be downloaded from Adobe, though some are free. There are 3 different chapter styles with clipping mask samples that you can edit in Photoshop, a grungy background, a paper insert and 4 stains that you can use behind characters to make them pop, etc. Pretty much everything you need to get started with layout for your own Horror themed book. It’s been a while since I released an InDesign Template and since Halloween has just passed, I was inspired to do another one the Horror RPG Book – InDesign Template.
