Hello, @PedroB.
Please accept our apologies for the late reply
Unfortunately, it is not possible. The plugin breaks the page content into parts if those parts are not fitting the indicated page Format. But we can suggest you using the Pagebreaker ID functionality (which we have just fixed by the way). It works pretty well with the Group element. Assign the ID for the group you want to be the breaking point of the page and give it a shot.
Exactly, because of the fact we can’t predict the element dimensions of the repeating group, the plugin can not adjust itself and change the scale indicated in the plugin action page Format to create a page break somewhere else to prevent unwanted content crop.
No, it is not possible, unfortunately. We can tell the plugin where to create a breaking point and place the rest in the next page, but not the opposite.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. We will do our best to help.
I’m using custom css in an HTML element to blur the background of a group and to make it full screen. I also use a plugin to rotate a couple groups.
However, this Page to PDF plugin does not produce PDFs that are the exact replication of what’s on screen. Meaning, the custom css and the rotations are not taken into account in the PDF.
Is there a way to have custom css and rotations used in the PDF?
Would it be convenient for you to share your custom CSS settings and the plugin settings on screenshots? So we can try to reproduce and test it out on our end.
If it is more convenient for you, please share the details of your use cases via DM.
Sure thing this plugin works with the new responsive engine. We have made numerous tests with different page layouts and the PDF results were pretty neat.
If you need any help, feel free to DM us with the details of your setup (screenshots, description, etc.).
We have tried to recreate your case using the details you provided and, unfortunately, the issue is not reproducing on our side.
Will it be convenient for you to provide access to your app where we can test this issue? Please create a copy of the page where this issue is reproducing and provide a little guide on how we can reproduce it (which user to run, what buttons to click, etc.)
There is no need to have a paid Bubble plan to add support@zeroqode.com as a Collaborator, since Zeroqode is on an Agency plan.
The plugin works perfectly but I am stuck here with a silly problem. When a pdf is created, the file is saved into AWS but how do I run a workflow to store file links in the user’s database?
I recently purchased this plugin and I have had nothing but issues with it.
One minute it works fine, then when I add something on the page it breaks the plugin and the exported page is blank. The problem is, when I delete what I thought might be the issue, the fault stays and I have to create a completely new page and start again.
Has anybody else had this issue? @ZeroqodeSupport could you please advise if you have had this issue before and what the fix was.
Thanks
Craig
UPDATE - I have found the issue. The plugin doesn’t work if you have the ‘Loader’ plugin on the same page. I removed the loader plugin from the page and it now works correctly.
Create a text field in the data type you want and maybe name it something like ‘pdf_url’.
Then add a workflow step after the pdf creation like this - make changes to a thing (current thing) pdf_url > result of result of step 1’s (create pdf) file url.
Make sure the ‘save to amazon’ option is set to yes in the plugin settings (click the icon on the page and the option is there).
Hi!
Thank you for the plugin
i am wondering if you have a good solution or at least some tip to make it more nice:
i am using your plugin to export my proposals to pdf
sometimes they are short (less then a page) but sometimes they are longer (more then 2 pages)
whats the best way to make the export a bit more nice
*page long depend by the items i am offering and the terms
In order to save the resulting PDF file into the database, please follow the steps below:
Build a flow that will create a database record with the URL of your resulting PDF file. How to do this:
activate the Upload file to AWS checkbox;
add event “When ConvertToPDF A converting is finished”
add the action Create a new thing, Type = database table where you want to save the PDF URL;
set the field “PDF URL” (the column name where you’ll save the file URL) = ConvertToPDF A’s Output File URL
Also, please note that the result of the plugin work is a URL to the converted file, not a file itself. That’s why you should create a data type “text” in your app data. So, please make sure the “pdf URL” is “text” in your database.
In case we can help you with any additional information regarding setup or workflow steps, please let us know.
Hello @cmorris,
Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the late reply.
Glad to hear you got it sorted! Unfortunately, in some cases, third-party plugins can affect the plugin’s work. However, if you would like us to investigate the issue further, please let us know. We will be happy to assist you.
The plugin breaks the page content into parts if those parts are not fitting the indicated page Format. Therefore, please try to use the Pagebreaker ID functionality. It works pretty well with the Group element. Just, assign the ID for the group you want to be the breaking point of the page and give it a shot.
Your plugin setup should be the following:
place the plugin element on the page, and enable file uploads there (“yes”);
assign an ID to the parent group, in which your page content is placed (for example, “page”);
separate the content of this parent group into 2, dividing it into 2 pages that you want to have as a result. Name them, for example, page_one and page_two;
assign the “Generate pdf from HTML server-side ConvertortoPDFv2.0 A” action to some button that should trigger the plugin’s conversion work;
in the Pagebreakers ID field insert the IDs of your child groups (“page_one…”) Screenshot by Lightshot
In case you are already using page breaker functionality but cannot achieve the best result, please make sure you are using the latest version of the plugin. If the issue still persists, please provide a video recording showing the content of your page and the whole setup.
