Exporting to PDF and group sheets
The export-to-PDF panel (look, paper, editable, destination) and the group sheet shared by the whole table: creating it, editing it and exporting its data.
Two things that take the sheet out of the single character: the PDF, to print it or send it, and the group sheet, one sheet shared by the whole table (the ship, the boat, the base, the camp).
Where it is
The PDF opens from the sheet with Export to PDF or print, in the header's "···" menu or in the palette (Ctrl K). The group sheet opens from the campaign (on the sheet of a character whose system has a group sheet) or with the route /g/<campaign>/<system>/<sheet>.
Requirements and permissions
The PDF is exported by whoever can see the sheet. The group sheet belongs to the table: only its members see it, and it is edited by whoever runs the game or by anyone in the group, depending on how the system designed it; the sheet itself says so with Shared with the party and "the GM edits it" or "anyone can edit it".
Exporting to PDF
The Export to PDF panel has a preview on the right and these options on the left:
| Option | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Sheet style | Tinta or Classic |
| Paper | A4 or Letter |
| PDF type | Editable (form) or Flat (D&D sheet only) |
| What to include | Features, spells, appearance and story, gear and coins |
| Ink saver | No backgrounds or fills, to print cheaply and in black and white |
| What to do with it | Download, send to the game chat, send to a player, save to the library or print with the browser |
The D&D PDF is a sheet of our own, faithful to the 2024 layout, with the sheet's data; the editable mode is a form you fill in afterwards. Saving to the library puts it in My Library, under Documents.
Group sheet
A group sheet exists if the campaign's system designed one (see Party sheets). The first time it is not created: the create button creates it and from then on the whole table sees it. Edit changes its fields. To take its data out there are Data (JSON) and Spreadsheet (CSV). If the GM has made the group part of each character, there is no group sheet and the screen says so.
Known limits
- The editable PDF exists only for the D&D sheet; the others export flat.
- A group sheet with no design configured says "This group sheet doesn't have a design yet".
Frequent problems
"The PDF could not be prepared." Try printing with the browser: it is the panel's own fallback.
"I can't see the group sheet." Only the game's members see it and it only exists if the system has one.
