Topic: LotFP Form-Fill PDF Character Sheet

I put together a rough form-fill PDF character sheet for the game (link below). It isn't one you can save data on, sadly, so if anyone wants to take it and away and make one that does save the data, feel free.

Here's the link: Character Sheet

Works fine in Reader, seems to be a bit slow opening in browsers.

Any advice to improve it, let us know.

Cool, but the PDF seems to be missing?

Try it now. The file got accidentally deleted when I was doing a clear-up. That's two versions now, one with pull-downs, the other with just text boxes.

Thanks! I don't know how to save PDF form data either, but nice work so far.

If you're using a Mac you can open it in Preview and you can save the file filled-in.

With a PC, I'm pretty sure you can use Cute-PDF or some other freeware program.

Edit: I know it works with FoxIt

Re: LotFP Form-Fill PDF Character Sheet

You are welcome.

Also, (I know it's heresy) but I'd like to be able to put the actual number in with the dice as well.

Re: LotFP Form-Fill PDF Character Sheet

I just made some mods to the sheet to make it even more helpful, if you'd like.

I'd love to see what you've done. What changes did you make?

Re: LotFP Form-Fill PDF Character Sheet

I made the dots bigger (and you can select/deselect them) and made it so that the multiple entries work on all PDF readers (on mine if you entered one weapon it entered the same info in all fields).

I also added a clear sheet button. I'm toying with adding some default info (like the 3 in 6 architecture for a dwarf) but I haven't got there yet.

Where can I send it so you can post it if you like?

Just checking to see if you got it (or if a spam filter snagged it)

Re: LotFP Form-Fill PDF Character Sheet

I did, thanks.

And here is the link: PDF Character Sheet.

Should work, but if it doesn't, try here: PDF Character Sheet.
