The character image is not displaying on the PDF character sheets. It should. It would also be nice if you offered the ability to select a faction. If one of the 5 major factions is selected, the faction banner should display on the character PDF as well. A method of uploading a custom faction and banner should be available.

Seems that the character image is still not displaying. That's not good...
What is not good? There is nowhere to put a character image in the character builder, so what would you expect to auto populate? There is only your icon image which I don't believe was ever said to represent that box of the pdf. There is an update coming to the character builder display and pdf that will be addressing this request. Since the update has not happened yet, obviously the character picture display has not happened yet.
That was somewhat rude as far as replies go. You speak as if I even know what the hell you're talking about. I'm not a programmer, I'm an end user. When there is a box that says. Character image here, I pretty much expect it to throw up a character image in the pdf. That may be difficult in coder language, but I'm just expressing what I expect. Especially after paying to use buy/use the program.
So yeah, it's not good. And I hope you are able to fix it, if that's your responsibility. I am enjoying the program though, besides that, so far. And the crappy attitude in the response... not so much.
so its been 2 years almost. Any moevment on this. I would also expect the portorate I select to download into the PDF file. it should be page 3 Character Appearance.
In a recent developer update, Badeye indicated that this is because the exported PDF is form fillable so that folks can edit it, in part because they know the export is far from perfect. When I export to PDF I make some significant edits to the features and traits section, so I really appreciate that ability. Apparently including the picture/image is no possible with a form fillable PDF. I don’t know enough about the ins and outs of PDFs to know why this is the case, only that this was Badeye’s explanation.

In any case, Happy Holidays.

Thank you ArwensDaughter
7 years later and this obvious missing feature is still missing.
I found this thread after still having a bad experience with the DNDBeyond exported PDF sheet.
I made a tool to very quickly add a portrait to a any character sheet PDF. Thought it might be useful to others.
