The newly released 1st ED PHB in PDF is great, very clean and sharp. Love it.

 

I'd really like to see the errors corrected in the PDF if possible. They are very minor but should be a minor issue to correct.

 

Here is a list of known issues in the reprint (and the PDF, I checked).

 

PLAYERS HANDBOOK:

Page 17: Halflings

"High resistance to magic spells, for every 3'/2" should read "for every 3 1/2"
"See heat radiation variation at up to 607" should read "See heat radiation variation at up to 60 ft."

Page 17: Half Orcs

In the first paragraph, the bolded text - "ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS" should read "ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS" 
(The "FT" should be an "&")

Pg 26: Illusionist spell progression chart. 

There should be no 5th level spell at level 9.

Page 36: Tack and Harness

"Barding, Plate 15 S.P." should read "Barding, Plate 500 G.P."

Page 37: Weight and Damage by Weapon type

"Axe, Battle: Damage to size L: 1-4" should read "Damage to Size L: 1-8"

 

Folks at dragonsfoot.org have a thread with the errors in the 1e reprints you might want to check it.

Also, one might find it in your heart to lessen the "security" in the PDF so we can access the "initial view" properties in the PDF. I tend to use 2 pages up and the bookmarks. Unfortunately the security prevents me from having the PDF load like that.
