Is it possible to export a map from a purchased module? I love the OG 1E module B2 Keep on the Borderlands. I bought the FG version, and I want to export the maps so I can convert them for my Pathfinder game. Is this even possible? I've tried with images of the maps from a purchased PDF of the module but I can't get the grid to line up.

Welcome to the FG forums.

You can't export maps from a module that is encrypted in the FG vault - which the Keep on the Borderlands is. However, if you're wanting to use the maps in a FG Pathfinder game, then this extension will allow you to open the Keep on the Borderlands in a ruleset other than D&D 2E: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?41034-Universal-Module-Extension

There is or was a tool in these forums called Map Align that can help you stretch your image closer to your grude line needs, but it's a bit fiddly.

Another option could possibly be that someone has recreated the maps from that module to be more VTT friendly in regards to how it was generated and exported. Bringing in your own maps might entail a little bit more work on your end, depending on your specific needs.
Example remake maps.
