PDFoundry VS ddb-importer

In the past, I've used PDFoundry to give access to my players. It's been a while for me, so YMMV.

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).

PDFoundry

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.

- PDFoundry, which allows you to set form-fillable PDFs as character sheets

There's a known issue with that happening. https://github.com/Djphoenix719/PDFoundry/issues/48

For those who find this through search, here are the importers I discussed: Import List Status: https://docs.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/status.html Adventure Mucher: https://docs.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ (ingest D&D Beyond adventure) Importer: https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer (import D&D Beyond adventure)

This is an addon to Foundry. Syncing to Beyond. From Beyond to Foundry is free. Although if you want to sync, it requires a Patreon. https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer

It's probably just been fixed- the guy that develops it seems absurdly active.

It gives you whatever you've paid for on DDB. So if you only have the PHB, you only get the PHB backed up into Foundry for example. I'm not sure how it maps because I haven't inspected the code lol.

Since WotC haven't licensed anything for Foundry, Foundry itself only contains the SRD material for 5E. To get LMoP into Foundry in the simplest way possible, you'll want to use something like the D&D Beyond Importer, a tutorial video for which is available here.
