Hello guys, I´ve been playing a bit with the selectPDF plugin for printing invoices but it´s really really slow. Anyone know if there is a particular configuration to keep in mind so it can make the PDF faster? Or if anyone developed a workaround to get a fast export to PDF. Right now it´s so slow that I cannot think about deploying something with this plugin. Thanks a lot.

As it’s slow, and nothing on our side can be done to make it faster (as far as I m aware), I would advice to generate your invoices in advance throught an API endpoint so Bubble works on background.

Thanks for your reply, That´s not possible. Do you know any workaround or plugin or something? Thanks @nicolas.daprigny

sorry, i don’t. Using the API endpoint, sending the invoice link to your custom in an email so your sure the PDF has been printed maybe

Thanks nicolas, There should be an easy way. I mean it´s just an export to PDF. Maybe some other will know? Thanks.

What is an API endpoint? How do you do this?

There is actually quite some stuff happen to export as PDF… Render the page, generate the pdf, save it to S3. This can probably be done faster on the pdf side, but it will still take some time…

Thanks for your replies and do you know another plugin or workaround to make it instantaneous? @raymond I´ve seen Webmerge but it´s not integrated with Bubble, is it? Thanks a lot.
