Character Builder is Live

It's only a workaround, but what I did was use Acrobat to merge the different documents into one. Just use Create PDF from multiple documents, and then select each page...and you've got one document. But this is definitely something that should be updated as well.

Odd, I've used Acrobat 9 to print pdf copies of characters, both portrait and landscape and they do so in one file.
The only issue I seem to be having printing to pdf is that when set to landscape it squishes the landscape layout to 8.5 inches wide instead of 11 inches wide, as if it was set to portrait...
Haven't figured out if it is my pdf printing settings or the program.
Full portrait prints to pdf just fine.
*Just caught up on a few others noting that they too are having a problem printing landscape properly, looks like it is the program,
I'm running Vista Ultimate with Acrobat 9 just for comparison.

Its the program, which is an interesting bug I must say.

I guess I'll be getting a year subscription when my tax return comes in. I do hope they better implement house rules and custom races/classes/whatever in the near future though because I'm a big fan of 3rd Party Products.

Sooo...there any way to add bonuses to the PCs? My game's magic-lite, so I'm using the +1 to attacks and defenses per 5 levels rule from the DMG, but I see no way to actually implement that in the builder, except as a houseruled note, which isn't all that useful.

On the character sheet, you can rewrite the skill totals, attack totals, and...well, most other numerical totals. It'll come up as a Misc. bonus, and you can add a little note as to why you made the change.

You could always just give them +X magic weapons/armor and ignore the word "magic."

Ah, thanks for that! I've been trying to select the misc columns themselves, never occured to me to try the total column.
