Hi ingo_play_rpg, I believe the ability to copy and share character sheets is in the plans for D&D Beyond. The staff are also working on better character sheet exporting into PDF format. Stay tuned!
I Currently use Hero Labs Now Because I Can Export in formats the these VTT programs can Use. if DnD wants to be more marketable this would be Big Step.
The ability to export character data to be imported into something like MapTool, Fantasy Grounds, or other virtual tabletop system would be fantastic.
I quote, having the possibility to export the character sheet in different formats compatible with, at least, the most used tabletop platform would be awesome!
I have a pdf of a character but need to make it into a sheet here. How do I do that?
There is not a way to import a pdf automatically, so you will need to remake the character using the tools here. Most of that should go smoothly. The trickiest part will likely be sorting out the “original” ability scores prior to racial adjustments and any asi’s taken.
If by chance the character in question is a pregen from the starter set, somewhere on the forums there are instructions on how to build those here.

i Agree Export For D20 Pro and/or Map tools would be Big Boon!
