Hello all!
Before I had discovered Fantasy Grounds I start buying the PDFs for savage worlds for Peginc.com is their a way to convert those to rulesets? I did read some stuff about a tool for 5e and I was wondering if anyone did that for us.

Use the library extension to copy/paste data to create library modules: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?19202-Savage-Worlds-Enhancement-Extensions&p=152731&viewfull=1#post152731

For adventure modules you can check out my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHEpGHUgBMA
But for Savage Worlds settings, I've used the enhanced library extension, works very well for personal use. Easy to use as well.

In my, admittedly limited, experience there are a couple of things to note when using the enhanced library extension (an extension I downright LOVE, mind you). For Pinnacle products I find it most useful to copy out to a word processor first to remove the extra line breaks.Keep line breaks only at the end of paragraphs with no lines between paragraphs, I also make judicious use of the replace function after that to replace em-dashes (that long dash commonly used by Pinnacle) with something like 2 dashes and, in some cases, the - sign is also an odd symbol I need to replace to have recognized by the extension correctly. Also it seems that some other symbols get translated a bit strange if you past directly into the extension.

There may well be better fixes for those issues other than pasting into a word processor first, but I'm not sure what those would be yet.
