Handouts Upgrades

Score + 3
Why can't we have multi-paged handouts?  Or even multiple images on a handout?  I know a PDF does that...on some level, but there's no means for the GM to put in information or notes for themselves.  So I would like handout upgrades... 1) Easiest to do would be to update PDF to include a notes section for the GM . 2) Next would be to allow multiple images on a handout .  It couldn't be that hard to code that players can see more than 1 image or flip between 2-3 images (not sure what the upper limit would be). 3) Last would be to create native multi-page handouts .  I know you can link hyperlinks, but some of us are not that crafty...even with a Pro Acct.  I'm not saying you couldn't use this option, but why doesn't Roll20 create an easy/native means to do this for Pro and above? Come one Roll20...let's go...upgrade the handout options!!!

+1, We definitely need better handouts Personally, I'd prefer markdown support (with images) and multi-page support rather than extending PDF.  I find PDFs a pain to use, and being able to just paste in markdown source I create in an external editor would be ideal for me. I do want to note that there's an old API script that provides Markdown support available here . And keithcurtis did a D&D-like styles list for use with it, although the URL I had for that is no longer valid. I use it and, while it's really sensitive to what you type (and will just mysteriously fail if it sees any non-printing characters, which can be really hard to debug and you often get them on cut/paste) it otherwise continues to work reliably for me.  I have dozens of handouts written with it, and it supports embedded images via image links.  No multi-page support though, and it steals the GM Notes for the source, so you can't easily include any hidden text.
