Or, honestly, anything that is not a .dnd4e file. I want to print it at school, and DLing the CB at school is not a viable option.

Thanks,

sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

Yep, that's the one I use too.

Why yes! Check your default paper size inside the PDF Creator "printer" - it's probably defaulted to A4 because when you installed it it guessed you were in the UK.

That's happened for myself and another person in my play group, specifically with PDF Creator and the Character Builder. For some reason, those two programs together result in a page formatted for A4 being put on 8.5x11 and cropped, whereas normally it would create an "A4" PDF which would then scale itself onto 8.5x11 when you print it, without you ever noticing.
