Character builder - export?

[avin]

Hi guys,

is there any way to export Character Builder's to a DOC or any text file? I'm inserting all my players sheets to the Builder and want to send them a PDF file for some minor adjustments.

Don't you have a print to PDF option on your PC? I'm sure some are available for free.

That's the only export I've seen although the summary is just plain text if you want to copy and paste that.

The Export is nothing like an export.

Just in case any of you gets bored and wants to do some coding:
The .dnd4e files the builder generates seem to be xml files.

Nope, but I'll find one when I get home, thanks.

CutePDF and Primo are both very good options.

No, i don't think it has an export function YET, but it really needs it. Unless you have the full Adobe Acrobat, where you can just tell it to print to .pdf. It prints it all in one piece, not a .pdf per page.

If you have Adobe Acrobat, you should have the option... When you select "Print" from the "Edit" menu the option should be listed alongside any printers you have available. See the attached image.

Select it as the "printer" you want to print to, and it'll give you another dialogue box asking for a filename and location to save it to.

I got only Acrobat Reader, in case it doesn't print to PDF by itself I'm gonna install one of the suggested programs.

Thanks.

When I tell it to print to Primo, nothing happens. Anyone has a clue as to what may be wrong?

No clue, I will check tht out when I get home this evening. The Primo prompt box should appear....
