PDF Shredder
Drop in a homebrew or print-module PDF and the PDF Shredder pulls out gameable cards and reconstructs a runnable adventure — extracted once, projected across cards, chat, and the battle-map.
One pass over the file produces everything the family needs — your prep lands in DND Cards, the night runs in DND Chat.
NPCs, monsters, spells, magic items, locations, quests, and loot tables become standalone cards in your DND Cards library — copied faithfully from the source, matched against the SRD, deduped. Reusable at every table in the family.
Chapters and locations are reconstructed into an ordered list of scenes — boxed read-aloud, present NPCs, and exits — that drops straight into the DND Chat Autopilot DM. No copy-paste, no reformatting.
Every monster and NPC the Shredder finds is a card, and cards become standees on the DND War battle-map. Place the whole encounter in a click instead of statting it twice.
Shred the book once. The cards land in your account hub, the adventure flow projects into chat, the tokens project into War. Same shared library, three tables.
Four steps from a closed book to a session the table can play.
Homebrew one-pager or a 250-page print module — open the import tool in your campaign and choose the file. Optionally set a page range to skip front matter and appendices.
Clean text layers are read directly; flat scans are run through OCR first, so even an image-only module is fair game. The text is then extracted into cards and scenes.
Scan the cards it conjured and the scenes it reconstructed before anything is committed. Mechanical values are copied literally — CR, HP, AC, damage, spell levels — never invented.
Cards land in your DND Cards deck; the adventure saves to the campaign for the Autopilot DM to run. Start the session and the AI DM narrates scene one.
A little prep on the file makes the extraction sharper. The full guide lives in the import docs.
Tables of contents, credits, and appendices muddy the extraction. Point the Shredder at just the chapters you'll run — the import tool even suggests where the front matter ends.
