Editable Fill Forms?

[Sapphiremagus]

I did a quick search on Fillform, fill form, and editable, with no major success.

Are there any editable pdfs of the various fill forms / record sheets floating around? I don't necessarily mind printing them out and going old-school, but I prefer digital when possible and I'm not up to speed on making them myself.

Thanks!

Depending on what you have, you could make a PDF of the forms, and most PDF software has the capacity to add text and stuff. But that would not be a fillable form - just an image where you are putting tex on top (which is also a possibility using a variety of free tools available to all operating systems).

I'll check & see if the original T5 files had any form fillable things when I get home - for some reason I cannot seem to access my home network from work at the moment (probably because I really should be working & not reading about Traveller!)

LibreOffice and OpenOffice can save as pdf. So I just write things up in Writer, and save/export as pdf. Make changes in the Writer/doc file, and re-export as pdf.

Pretty sure he really doesn't care about PDF, what he cares about is forms that he can easily fill in and print.

So, if you're using a word processor, perhaps with some templating artifacts, there's no need to have a fill-in-able PDF.

If you have a tool that can make fill-in-able PDFs, perhaps that would be interesting.

Or, perhaps both: https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-a-pdf-with-fillable-forms-in-libreoffice/

Looks interesting. I can see it being a pain to create character sheets in some other games, but could easily work in Traveller.

Eh, was more looking for the look'n'feel of the forms in the book. I can probably export the page as an image, though, and load it as a background in a word processor.

Either way, I think my question has been answered - no, there is not a set of fillable pdfs floating around

Thanks for the input all!
