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.
