So still no way to print or save character sheets?

Just want to make sure that I haven't missed something, there is no way to download or print character sheets? Like really no way? People been asking for this for 5 years, but no way?

Pretty much. There is not a feature in roll20 made for that. There is screenshotting of your computer screen, this is a built in ability of Mac, Linux, Windows, computers, whatever is on your screen you can capture and print it as an image.

I used to have an upvote on that, but with 500 ups, it's not likely to disappear, so I moved it to some smaller ones that needed help getting off the ground. Nevertheless, it would be very nice to have.
Funny how that suggestion thread was posted 5 years ago.

Actually, if you go back one page, you will see this, posted 2 months ago: Kenton &nbsp;said: Good morning. As this request is to print all sheets (not just Popular or Roll20 Official Sheets), we need to make sure our processes are aligned with the best practices for the technologies we use. For our test case of Dungeons &amp; Dragons 5e, we've undergone significant structural changes of the code in order to make working on this system possible. That work is nearing completion, and we will be able to move into the next phase soon. Which I read as: "It's not possible with the current code. We are updating our code and it will be done soon, then we will be able to work on a print function". The simple fact is they have a limited number of coders, and a lot of things to do.
From little I know about the character sheets, their layout seems to be written as fragment of html dom stylized with css.&nbsp; If you're motivated, you can try to convert html dom to pdf yourself using existing libraries.&nbsp; There are several libraries out there that attempts to convert raw html to pdf.&nbsp; Here's one that apparently processes the css as well (and conveniently, it's a nodejs lib so if you're already working with js anyway from API scripting and what not, you won't have to learn a new language - though, you'll have to learn a bit about node.js if you've never done server-side js with node). <a href="https://github.com/bauhausjs/phantom-html2pdf" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bauhausjs/phantom-html2pdf</a>
