Pdf?

I have created a formfill pdf unique custom character sheet complete with basic stat math. Can I just import that to use for my players in my next campaign 

As I understand it: You can Upload any PDF you want (form fillable character sheets etc.), BUT since there are no variables behind it, anything you enter might not get saved!

No, you cannot import a PDF character sheet. Character sheets on Roll20 are HTML, CSS, & JavaScript.  Pro subscribers have early access to the new PDF upload system, but it's not a character sheet thing, more a handouts thing. 

What he meant is: you can upload a PDF and roll manually... although yes, you need to have PRO for it... You can NOT access it with Macros, it is just a PDF then. You can edit it if you want to, but any information you entered is not saved since there are no variables behind it... (IF you upload a form fillable character sheet you can input values, even calculations will be done, but they are not saved!) Andrew R. said: No, you cannot import a PDF character sheet.

Yup, at this point in time, the ability to upload PDFs is pretty much for reading PDFs while in the VTT. They are not scriptable, dynamic, form-fillable or anything like that. Character Sheets have not changed. You could create a character sheet pdf outside of Roll20 and upload it once it has been created, but it would be for reference, and have no interactivity with macros or Mod scripts.

how much would you guys estimate this would cost to convert into a character sheet?

Best place to find out would be in Sheet Requests or on the Discord associated with r/roll20. But it would probably not be cheap.
