Hey guys even when I'm DMing offline I use FG for refference and to make calculations, etc, would be nice if we have a option to export the Fantasy Grounds character sheets to PDF, what do you guys think?

I think that would be nice but considering the features that are currently being worked on, it is a very low priority I would think.

Having the conversion to Unity and all the benefits that will bring us is more pressing.

Might be something a community programmer could do if there was enough demand and it wasn't too difficult. Plus what rule set would you need this for? Each one uses a different character sheet so each would have to be formatted for export seperately, which i think would be rather laborious.

In case you have not seen this already, I have used this to print PDF copies for my players for backups:

Question since you have used it: where does the file go? I uploaded the FGU XL file and it says it took it...so, where does the PDF actually materialize?

I know this thread has been around before the Dead Sea was even sick, but I came here today looking for this very thing.

Indeed the above link is brokeass, but I found this one: ="https://fantasygrounds2pdf.vercel.app/" from a Reddit thread and - as of this posting - it is still working.

It only works with FG, however, and there are only 3 rulesets in it: 5e, Dungeon Crawl Classics, and Cyberpunk RED.

~ happy converting.
