Importing an Outside Character

I'm new to the service trying to DM a game for some friends as we're scattered around my state. I'm trying to import a PDF from DND Beyond but I cannot figure it out. Is this even possible?

Edit: No possible to import pdfs ans other than plain images, so importing a characters stat block this way isn't too useful, unless you're fine with just having it as an image/handout. There might be some API available to Pro subscribers that can be used for importing characters form DnDBeyond, but don't remeber exactly.

The last time I checked(years ago...EDIT: just double checked. see image), you can import a pdf one page at a time but roll20 merely creates a copy of the page as an image...  You might try copy-paste text and images from the pdf into an external text editor, edit as needed, then copy-paste into a handout. ;-(
