I noticed when I export my character to PDF it lists all of the possible spells I could know/prepare for my level. I assume that anyway as this character is only level one.
I also noticed it only lists the cantrips I have prepared in the program instead of all of the ones I could prepare.
Why is that and can we have it list all possible cantrips in the PDF in the future?
If you are playing a cleric (for example) I could understand why, as you will have the "potential" to learn/cast all of those spells, while only having your cantrips locked in place.
Unless your DM has instituted a house rule, you don't "prepare" cantrips. At character creation, you choose which cantrips your character knows. Those are the only cantrips they know/can use. At certain levels (it varies by class) they can add an additional known cantrip to their list.
As a druid, though, you have access to all non-cantrip druid spells of a level you can cast, and you prepare a certain number at the end of a long rest. All the eligible spells are listed on the pdf so that you can change your prepared list at the end of a long rest during play.
The reason you see all spells at a level you can cast is because you are a prepare caster (cleric, druid, paladin, artificer, and wizards (after they are added to spellbook)). A prepare caster "knows" every level 1 and higher spell of their class (except wizards need to copy into spellbook) and can prepare them after a long rest. Cantrips are not prepared (unless you are a level 10 artificer), so they aren't exported.

What kind of caster are you playing?

I'm playing a druid focusing on crowd control and utility so I'm going to be cycling through my cantrips a lot.
We have a general no phones at the table rule so I wanted the cantrips to be available on my sheet.
