Form-Fillable Character Sheets

Submitted by eclipseadmin on

We have two new form-fillable character sheets, contributed by Eclipse Phase fans, Creative Commons-licensed! If you want to make your own EP Character Sheets, we've posted the InDesign files for our sheets here: http://www.eclipsephase.com/eclipse-phase-character-sheet-package, and you can grab the InDesign files from Garrett Guilotte's sheets right here.

Fillable?
The sheet by Guillotte does not appear to actually be form-fillable.

Re: Form-Fillable Character Sheets
Am I the only one to have an issue with the DUR value not sticking? You write it in, but as soon as you tab, the value's gone, even through the values that were calculated from it stay. Cheers, -tF

Re: Form-Fillable Character Sheets
You aren't. It does the same thing for me, which is a shame. Also, while these are good and far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth, what I'd really like is one in a format that could save the data that I entered and would be easily postable in an online format.

Re: Form-Fillable Character Sheets
Notice for anyone using Evince on Ubuntu; Before trying to use these pdfs, you will need to fix them, since evince will corrupt them if you try to save them. You can fix it by running this in the command line; pdfopt input.pdf output.pdf Change input.pdf to whatever you named the character sheet, and output to something other than the name of the original.

Re: Form-Fillable Character Sheets
Why can't I save the forms for the sheets?

Programs like pdfx-change (free version) allow you to save edited sheets :) Without 3rd party software, you need to pay through the nose to Adobe, or you can't make sheets which do that.

Re: Form-Fillable Character Sheets
This might be far too late for those on the thread, but for future users: It's easy to fix the DUR issue if you have a way to edit PDF forms. 1) Just access your edit function (for full Adobe users, go up to the "Form" menu and click "Edit Form in Acrobat"). 2) Right click the DUR box and select "Properties". 3) Go to the "Calculate" tab and change the radio button from "Value is the..." to "Value is not calculated." (I assume this was an error where the creator copy-pasted the box and changed everything else, but forgot to return this radio button to the original default). 4) Turn off your edit function and save the PDF with the change. 5) Make characters and profit!
