Alternate Character Sheet format (ie .pdf or .jpeg)

Jan 28, 2009 1:19:35 I currently do not have a printer for my laptop. Since the character sheet is its own format (which I am assuming works only on the Character Builder), it would be very useful for me to be able to save character sheets as a .pdf or a .jpeg file that are almost universal. Is any feature like this in the works?

Jan 28, 2009 18:39:46 AFAIK, there is an idea on the table for pdf functionality, but no promises have been made.

In the mean time, you can find a pdf printer to convert the files to pdf format. I've heard CutePDF works well.

Jan 28, 2009 21:17:51 I have to agree with Kenkaku, I am using my laptop at college and the only printers I have access to our lab computers. I doubt I could(or want to) install the Character Builder on a lab computer. It would be nice to be able to save it as a .pdf or .jpg. Just giving more support to such an idea. Thanks for the suggestion Dalzig.

Although...I guess I could place the character builder on a flash drive and transport characters and the Builder that way, then print on a lab computer.

Or download a PDF printer, and save it that way.

I installed CutePDF. It is a friendly installation and I endorse its use to others. Thank you, Dalzig.

I ran into the same problem; I do not have immediate access to a printer. It is silly (and highly unpractical) to install the DDI Character Builder on a different computer to print the work I did on mine. I encourage WotC to include the PDF Export feature.
