We document here an extension of the reweighting feature of POWHEG that can also reweigth the generation of radiation for a new PDF set and the corresponding change in alpha_S. This feature is activated by setting the flag fullrwgt 1 in the powheg.input file, when running in reweighting mode, i.e. with the setting compute_rwgt 1 in the Les Houches file. The reweighting operates only on the generation of initial state radiation. It is thus effective for processes as W/Z, H and t-tbar (with no radiation from top decay) and similar processes (i.e. W/Z pairs, HW, HZ, etc.). Final state radiation does not depend directly upon the PDF's; however, the different value of Lambda_QCD associated with different PDF's can have an effect on final state radiation. Furthermore, final state radiation competes with initial state radiation in POWHEG, thus modifying the Sudakov form factors. An extension of the procedure to final state radiation may be possible, but it is not pursued at the moment. When using the LHAPDF6 package, it is mandatory to use the new POWHEG interface for LHAPDF6. If not, switching between the two differen pdf sets will slow down the reweighting procedure by a considerable amount. An example of the procedure is given in the W process, where the newly added subdirectory test-fullrwgt includes a new Makefile, using the appropriate interface to the LHAPDF6 package, and a simplified analysis file at the Les Houches level. In the two run subdirectories, testrun-wm-lhc-8TeV-ct10 and testrun-wm-lhc-8TeV-MRST, the input files for parallel runs are included. In the testrun-wm-lhc-8TeV-ct10 run, a run is performed with the ct10 pdf's, and it is reweighted to the MRST one's, while the testrun-wm-lhc-8TeV-MRST does the opposite.
