Are these chess scoresheets FIDE compliant?

How can I save the sheet as a PDF file?

Click the "Print Scoresheet" button (or press Ctrl+P / Cmd+P). In your browser's print destination dropdown, select "Save as PDF" instead of a physical printer.

What paper size should I use?

The sheets are designed to print cleanly on both standard A4 (210 x 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) paper with standard margins.

How do I turn this paper scoresheet back into a PGN file?

Simply take a clear photo of the scoresheet with your smartphone and upload it to ScanChess. The AI recognizes the handwriting, verifies the legality of each move, and lets you download a clean PGN.
