I dunno about you guys, but I'd love to see some Pathfinder content get pre-built for Roll20. Roll20 is probably the best way for me to get into a d20 game consistently with my friends, and with 5e now building their adventures right into the Roll20 store it's tempting to start talking my groups into 5e instead of pathfinder.
Anyone heard any plans for Paizo to bring content to roll20 in the same way?

It would be nice, and I might even buy that, but it's already pretty easy to copy everything over from the official PDFs.
I agree, but it would be really nice to be able to have most of the content already uploaded, put on pages, and ready to go. Time is something I don't have enough of anymore, especially for gaming, so having the base campaign already uploaded would be nice. I'd almost buy it just to have more time and energy to focus on the adventure content.

Yeah, I would pay all their modules and paths if it came with roll20 ready maps. Pre-aligned maps, tokens based on their copyrighted pictures and so on.
I understand it's much harder to create commercially available campaigns compared to a normal GM, winging the map creation but I'm actually a little surprised that Paizo hasn't seen the market value of bringing their paths and modules to roll20.

Speak for yourself, copying is a lot of extra handy work >:(
Espicially since sometimes community sheet resets itself

I guess it depends on how many things you are trying to upload. I just select the image from my pdf and copy it. Then I paste that image into Paint and save it as a jpeg. Then I just upload that to roll 20.

If you are talking about making a character sheet for the NPCs, I guess that could be a lot of work. I would usually do those by hand on the fly, unless the NPC is going to be stat relevant for a long time.

Why just Roll20? I've been running online campaigns for over 4 years on MapTool.
I'd honestly just be happy if PDFs came with all the maps as images without all the markings for traps and secret doors.
If pdfs came with all the maps in "player friendly" format in a good resolution, i'd probably have an itch to run A LOT more games. Tokens, alignment, and the other finicky bits can be time consuming, but if I don't have a good map as a base, I usually don't even bother trying.
