Oct 20, 2011 21:00:50 Ok so silverlight won't work on mobile devices or tablets yet. Fine. Is there any way to view the exported character builder files without character builder?
I don't wanna change things just wanna refrence the different sheets.

There is no need for a file viewer, you just need to convert the character sheet to a PDF.

Install the "CutePDF" software or any other PDF printer. You can print your character sheet to a virtual printer that then allows you to save it as a PDF which is viewable on pretty much any and every electronic device.

Word of warning... the way the online CB creates the print file generates crazy huge files. Whenever you print to PDF you have to set the resolution of the PDF to 144dpi or less. You still get great resolution but at managable file sizes.

Oct 25, 2011 9:46:48 I use i4e, which unfortunately is only iOS devices, on my iPad. it is seriously awesome.
cordax.net/i4e/

(Though it could seriously use an update to make essentials/themes work a bit smoother)

It uses a website, the reads the builder files and then you can download it to your iDevice for offline use. It's great, but would be better with an update and an android version.

Nov 02, 2011 16:39:27 If you're using an IPad, I can't recommend i4e enough. It has an import tool and gets almost everything in, you might have to adjust some stuff but 95% of everything is done for you. Also grab Compendium it's great also.

i4e for android should be out shortly, its just about to enter into testing.

Good to know! I've been a fan of i4e for a while now, but definitely not a fan of Apple products (with the possible exception of the iPod). Glad to know I'll be able to get i4e for my Droid X2, and hopefully soon...an Android tablet!!

Dec 02, 2011 13:52:25 It will be interesting to see how i4e does on the android phones. I haven't seen any android tablets worth developing for yet, but hopefully that will change. We'll see though, I'll keep an open mind.

Any Windows tablet will run the character builder because they use Windows 7 and not the mobile phone OS.

Windows phone OS is Silverlight and XNA and may run the DDI stuff.

Has anyone tried it yet? Does it actually work satisfactorily?

What's the word on a release date? Got a Kindle Fire for Christmas and would love to be able to buy i4e for it.
