Yep. Seen them. The problem is getting the alignment to work out, since the
iA cards use up so much space. The cards are great if you have a lot of
white space and wide margins (like a playing card), not so great if you're
trying to do something with a high quality look that runs edge to edge.
Since I'm a Magic player, I've got plenty of crap cards and sleeves, so my
only real cost to make a deck is time and ink.

But yes, the iA builder -could- be modified, but it would be a pain in the
neck. All the internal coding is based on 9 cards per sheet, so I'd have to
go through several thousand lines of code and several hundred embedded
graphic elements -per page- to adjust it to a 6 or 8 card per sheet format.

FYI, if you want to access the hidden features of the iA builder, wave the
cursor around the very lowest left of the first page until you find a spot
where the cursor changes to a something that looks like you should click
there. Click, and then play around to your heart's content. This lets you
adjust the symbols, the attribute wording, etc.
