If accessing the monster actions is the problem you might try the Argon HUD or change the default sheet layout to something like the dndbeyond character sheet module or monster blocks so it's more familiar

Giving access to PDF
2 projects | /r/FoundryVTT | 15 Nov 2022

In the past, I've used PDFoundry to give access to my players. It's been a while for me, so YMMV.
Now that PDFoundry has been deprecated, is there some way to use PDF character sheets?
1 project | /r/FoundryVTT | 22 Sep 2022

As the title. PDFoundry has been deprecated because FoundryVTT now includes built-in PDF support. Now, PDFoundry had extra features that I don't know if they exist yet in vanilla Foundry. For example, the ability to use a form-fillable PDF as a character sheet (which, in practice, allowed me to play almost any RPG system using the VTT with some minimal configuration).

I also appreciate you can just use a form fillable pdf on foundry thanks to the PDfoundry Module. However I've had some difficulty with that and so wanted a non-pdf option.
