sorry, I'm still kinda new to the system, but I'm running the Beginner Box tonight and I'd love to give my players printed-out character sheets.
I have been looking and haven't found anything like that... I even checked the Paizo store hoping to find it. Does anyone know if it exists yet? Or does the Legacy Character sheet still suffice?
Many thanks! Peace to you.

Pathbuilder provides just that. You can create your character and then use the Character Sheet PDF to get a pretty good PDF, already prefilled with most of the relevant information, but fully editable.
Only things which irks me with that PDF are the very short inventory list and that you cannot manually create more pages 3, because there's where your characters active action options are listed and that list gets very quickly filled out at even mid-levels.

I would also recommend Pathbuilder, but another caveat is that the Actions fields will truncate entries (i.e. only print out the first few lines of the electronic entry). This is not a big deal for experienced players, who probably only need the action or feat title to remind them of what it does. But for newbie players and especially for class-specific or feat-based actions, this cuts out out exactly the explanations they probably need the most.
If that is a problem, I would consider using pathbuilder's "Stat Block PDF" option instead of the classic character sheet. It does not have that cool DnD character sheet look, but I think it gives you more information in a more concise format.
But the nice thing is you can decide that for yourself, or even use both. Build the character, then save-to-pdf using both stat block and classic options. Look at each of them on the screen and decide after viewing them which one you want to print out.

Yeah, that's also a bit of a problem. If only you could make the text auto-resize somehow. :-/

I still use a Legacy Fillable Autocalc PDF. The only difference would be the attributes being represented by 12, 14, 16, etc., rather than +1, +2, +3, etc., and that the sheet has stuff like alignment on it (but you can just ignore that). The game math and whatnot are the same.
