I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me in this matter.

Hello Daxon, I am not sure to which text that is too small you are referring. There are two types of text on the sheet: the dynamic text in the form-fields that you (mostly) fill out yourself or the automation fills out for you, and the static text that is part of the graphics (background) of the sheet.

For the first kind I implemented a feature that makes the text automatically resize to the size of the field, or to any one font size you select. You can find this feature with the "Text" button in the "JavaScript window" or with the "Text Options" bookmark.

For the second type of text, which is part of the static background, you would indeed need to have some kind of pdf editing program to be able to change it. Because of this, I can also not have it change dynamically through JavaScript.

Lastly, you ask to change the width of the text lines. Unfortunately these text lines are part of the background image and can't be dynamically changed for the same reason as above. All that you can do is hide them, again with the "Text" button. In theory I could make a new sheet which has a bigger line spacing, but that would basically require me to redesign the whole sheet, and seeing as I am doing this for free, I don't really feel any need to do that. Also, changing the line height would require a change in font size, which in its turn would require changing all the text to fit again (as it is now custom written to fit exactly to the lines), which would take way too much time for me to consider it. Hope you understand!

For the WotC version of my sheet I used more space between the lines and a larger font, so maybe it is worth checking out.

In other news:

I have finally gotten around to some important fixes to the code, as well as the addition of an 'overflow page', which is sure to make those of you happy that were cramped for space.

MPMB's Character Record Sheet v12 (3 August 2016) has the following changelog:

• NEW FEATURE: added an additional page for the ‘overflow’ of things from the first three pages. This optional page offers additional space for magic items, feats, limited features, actions, and proficiencies;
• Added support for the source “DMsGuild” when adding stuff via custom code;
• Added support for using “Homebrew” and “DMsGuild” as selectable sources for spells (if you add them via custom code);
• Fixed an issue with the spell sheets being selectable in the print dialogue even though none were visible;
• Fixed an issue with automated subclass selection causing double/wrong entries (especially for Druid and Bard);
• Fixed an issue with not all multi-line fields having their font size changed.
