Okay, I may sound like a prat here if I've been blind and overlooked a download somewhere but I couldn't see it so here goes.

First... fantasy grounds is amazing. Played my first few sessions on it last month as a dm and am in the middle of importing and inputting data from my tabletop campaign into the system.

However, I have only one real pet peeve.
Most of the time, me and my friends still game around the table and I just use programs like fantasy grounds to enhance it and add visual scope.

The problem comes with character sheets though. It bugs me that you cannot save a copy of your character sheets from within Fantasy Grounds into a pdf format or anything that can be printed out for a person to physically refer to :(

Unless everyone in the room used a pc or laptop, it means updating and filling in new character sheets everything they play AND updating Fantasy Grounds as well :(

Does anyone else have this problem and more importantly, has anyone else found a useful workaround or trick for your own games?

I'd love to just let my players update their character sheets on FG at home, print them out so they can scribble on during a game then rinse and repeat.
