Community Forums: D&D Sheet: Print to PDF Beta Feedback

Roll20 Team

We just launched Print to PDF for the new D&D Fifth Edition sheet! It's available both in-VTT and in Roll20 Characters . We tested this pretty heavily internally, but as a small team there's no way to cover every possible character configuration. Over the next few weeks, if you spot anything weird, drop a screenshot in this thread. Stretch goal: include a link to the game or Roll20 Characters sheet and that helps us even more! Thank you so much!!

The layout for spells sure uses up a lot of paper.

Great feedback! We just deployed an update that should solve for this. Can you try again and let us know if that's better?  Terry W. said: The layout for spells sure uses up a lot of paper.

Scaling pages too large (one page continues into the top portion of the next,) and if I try to adjust any print settings it reverts to looking like the webpage…

Spells are better, the page count for my test warlock dropped from 27 to 18 pages... But moving Notes to a new row underneath the Name/Casting Time/etc. line and allowing it to use the full width of the page would be better. Or changing Name/Casting Time to a stack in one column, giving more room for Notes in a second column. In the 2 column Inventory section (Equipment and Possessions), a little balancing of the columns would also save some space.  Personally, I'd be thrilled with options to PDF, like Markdown or JSON.

That's really interesting -- especially those black bars forming on the edges! Can you tell me the following?  1. Which browser are you using? 2. Are you using the print button, or cmd/cntrl-P? 3. What application are you using to open / view that PDF? Thank you!

Thanks Terry! We've been playing with some placement since internal testing, and your notes on this are really useful!

This is using the print button with Safari on my iPad Pro. The print preview pane that pops up. Just tried it on the iPad Chrome browser and it just showed about 3/4 of the first page. Will test on my Mac Mini tomorrow in case it is just an iPad issue… Dean said: That's really interesting -- especially those black bars forming on the edges! Can you tell me the following?  1.
