Questions. 1. how do i erase the dice rolls & results? 2. Can i transfer files from my PC to the campaign creator 3. if so how. 4. If im unable to transfer PDF file info. then i need to no an easy way to draw maps in the campaign creator because trying to do it free hand using the system tools is not gonna work.

1) You cannot erase the dice rolls, they just scroll up into the chat log.  Is there a reason you need to delete them? Perhaps I can help if I know what the problem is.  2) Yes, you can drop jpgs, gifs, and pngs into Roll20. The methods are as follows:  3a) Drag from your computer onto the map, character sheet, handout, or card. 3b) Click on the art library tab and click the black star. Click on Upload and you can find the file to upload on your computer.  3c) Drop a PDF onto the map, it will ask you which page you want to convert and then convert it to an image for you.  Note: file sizes you may upload are limited to 5 MB.  4) You can also go into the pdf, right click on it, choose the 'select' tool, select the image and then drop it into Paint. Save it as a JPG and then drop it into Roll20.  Also, the drawing tools that Roll20 provides is not intended to be a map making program. You need to use a map making program and then drop the image into Roll20. What Roll20 provides is the equivalent of a white board with a dry erase marker.  - Gauss

An extra bit on 4) You can use Gimp to create maps using textures and layers much in the same way as Photo Shop, but it's FREE. Just make sure to export your file types to .jpg, or .png for best results!

I dont have any photos to use all I have is Modules, Maps etc on PDF now what about those? and can i modify the maps in the aventure,revel 1 room at a time, hide map markers such as treasure, traps or other points of intrest?

Google maps, textures and other stuff of similar nature and you will find a lot of sites with loads of maps and all. You can also find some sites that have components that you are allowed to freely use. I have close to 10 gigs of graphic components from years of collecting. Gimp is one of the best freeware graphic programs there is, IMHO. I have used it for many years.

man would i be able to draw or make the maps from my modules on PDF using gimp or sum other source, I cant draw on real grid paper by hand any more. the whole reason ive joine roll d2o & myth weaver is so i can play ttrpgs like i use to b4 my disability if there is a way to take, draw or copy maps that are on PDF and transfer them to the roll d20 campaign creator that would be great

I don't have experience with PDF's, so my thought is only a logical solution and not experienced. It would be to extract the images from a PDF. The other way is to use, at least FoxIt has it (I don't know about Adobe), a tool called SnapShot. In the Tools menu click SnapShot to grab a portion of the document. Then open an image editor program, paste it, trim it to size, and it's set. You have an image you can bring to the campaign.

You should be able to. I use pdfs of Pathfinder adventure paths. I just right-click to save the image out of the PDf and paste it into an image editor. In my situation, the maps are usually ready to use. Sometimes I just have to use the clone tool to hide some GM info (like a secret door). Save it and then upload it to Roll20.
