Install

1. Go to the "Add-on Modules" tab in Foundry Setup
2. Click "Install Module" and paste this link in the field at the bottom: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spetzel2020/pc-importer/v0.6.6/module.json

Using PC Importer with MPMB sheets

With your MPMB character sheet

1. Open your MPMB character sheet in Acrobat Reader DC or similar.
2. Enable the Show extra features tool bar, and click the Import/Export button
3. Pick the Import/Export using files>Export .xfdf file>Export .xfdf file of all fields option
4. Wait between 15s and several minutes depending on the complexity of your sheet. A new dialog will appear with XFDF output.
5. Select all the output in the window, and copy-and-paste and save into a new file with the XFDF extension. WARNING: The default text selected is not all of the file you need; make sure to Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C (or the equivalent on your platform) to get all the text

On Foundry

6. On Foundry, select the Basic Controls on the left (the top-left "person" option, under the d20-anvil icon)
7. In that Basic Controls palette, click the Import a PC character sheet control (the person-plus option)
8. When the dialog opens, click the Choose File button, and browse to the location of the XFDF file created in Step 3 above and select that
9. Click Import
10. PC Importer will import recognized content into a newly created Actor (type character) and add unmatched content for the remaining classes, class features, feats, inventory, and spells. The name will show "...LOADING" after the Actor has been created, but while remaining content is being processed.
11. Open the character sheet for your new Actor; click the magnifying-glass icon to show matching options - you can right-click a match to either Add or Replace it in the sheet
