This Python script can convert a (printer-friendly) pdf of the DotMM Companion to JSON files that can be imported into Foundry VTT.
Install pdf2text using the following shell commmand:
pip install pdf2textNext, use pdf2text to extract each chapter of your DotMM Companion pdf as a HTML page. An example command is provided below. Unfortunately, you will have to manually specify which pages to extract.
pdf2txt.py -o Companion_ArcaneChambers.html -p 33,34,35,36,37,38,39 -t html -A DotMM_Companion.pdfFinally, use companionConverter.py (from this repository) to convert the HTML page created in the previous step to a JSON file that you can import as a Journal Entry in Foundry VTT. Make sure you edit htmlName in companionConverter.py to match the name of the HTML file you made. You will need the following Python libraries to run the Python script: codecs, bs4 (or BeautifulSoup).
This is not a perfect converter. It meant as a tool for legitimate owners of the DotMM Companion pdf, for whom it may save a lot of manual typing / copy-pasting to get the text descriptions into Foundry.
