I was helping one of my new players fill out an AD&D2E sheet. We spent about four hours filling it all out, and then she accidentally saved it as a text file and didn't tell me until she'd already closed the program! So now I have a blank sheet and a weirdly formatted text file. I was wondering if someone out there knew a clever way to get everything back together in the pdf?

I can send you the files if you think you might have a solution.:smallbiggrin:

Did the PDF use text fields, or were you using some kind of text tool to write the information over the sheet's image?

form fields.

Most of the PDF-specific formatting information was lost, but as long as you have the original information, it shouldn't take more than ten minutes to copy and paste it in.

With an AD&D sheet? there are dozens of individual boxes...
