When I export a character not all the inventory is listed on the export. There is another sheet for more inventory but do I really have to retype all the stuff that does not fit on the first page? That seems counterproductive.
Also, looking on the computer it shows for example for a thief (expertise) and it shows what I am expertise in, but that does not print out on the sheet- it only talks about expertise.
How do I get it to export everything I see online but on a sheet of paper?
Can someone help on this issue. It is hurting play as characters are saying they have this or that in their inventory but it is not printing on their exported sheets. Online you can see everything, but once exported to PDF it only shows partial list and not everything
Hello elric2112! We have marked this thread as Request, and understand you'd like to see improvements to the PDF export. Your requests have been noted, and unless there is new information about the request, you will not need to 'bump' your thread. Thank you!
I would also like to add to this and not just create a new thread.
What i am noticing on mine is i have 1 page that is 50% Features and Traits, and 50% equipment. Then on a second page its 50% features and traits that didn't fit on the first, and 50% equipment that didn't fit on the first page.
Is it possible for all the Features and Traits to be together on 1 page, and all the equipment to be on another page. It doesn't wreck the game but it is an annoyance to have to look at 2 different pages for both features and traits and equipment when they would both fit on their own page.
"Improved Character Sheet Exporting" has been on the back burner for a couple years already. There are many, many things that don't seem to come through properly, like descriptor text for a lot of abilities, and particular pains with homebrew content... and general formatting....
I also have the same problem as OP, I resently leveled up, so I fixed my inventry along w it, (who wants 30 rations?) but the inventory did not update even though my HP and atributes did.
Would really like a space for Background features, but most importantly the link doesn't always contain the updated new information. Especially Ability score changes. Is this even on the list of "to-do" of the road map but maybe listed under another name?
I am having the issue of my attack list and armor class not updating to show I have anything equipped when I export my sheet. I had to go an type it all in.

If you equipped everything and then exported to pdf shortly after, it might be a server caching error. What happens if you wait 20 minutes or so and export?
Adding another request to the original topic re: issues with pdf export of character sheets.
In addition to the previously stated issues with INVENTORY and missing CHARACTER DETAILS, text that ports into the ACTIONS section is inevitably too long to fit inside the allocated box space and is always cut off. It used to be that the overflow text would just end up on another page, but as of today's date it no longer does that; now you just lose the text completely.
Adding to Request: I have updated several sections that show up on the digital version, but the system never seems to generate an updated PDF -- the filename and # in the generated PDF never change, and the content of the PDF itself still matches the old/original information from when I first generated the character.
For example: I changed the Background from Acolyte to Custom Background ("Hermit"), and then added all sorts of info to physical attributes, age, alignment, etc, but the updated PDF doesn't include any of those changes. It still just exports the original character sheet that was only half finished and incorrect.
Edit: I see that this is a known issue involving some poorly coded use of the browser cache. Nevermind...

Really- No devs can help on this and no one else is experiencing this problem?

I was just wondering if it was something only I was experiencing. Or is it I have to manually type in the extra stuff that does not carry over?
What you are experiencing is how the PDF Export currently functions. We've noted your improvement requests, though! :)
ok thank you- but the wierdd thing is I was able to do it before, so if something changed in Adobe or your software not sure
Can I join in the request?
The PDF export does not scale fonts properly, when there is more description (for example in Personality Traits) it gets cut.
The PDF does not respect the Ability Score/Modifier Display setting, it seems that you can only get large Modifiers/ small Scores.
Cantrips are not displayed in the WEAPON ATTACKS & CANTRIPS section
Warlock Devil Sight is not displayed in SENSES section.
Character details (name, levels etc. whole header) are not filled in on page 4.
And there is no way to include the picture in the CHARACTER APPEARANCE, except for editing PDF itself.,
I would also like to add to this and not just create a new thread.

Any updates on this?

Would be nice with a whole page for equipment, my players stuff exceeds page 1 and 2
