Displaying PDFs from multiple Dropdowns

Having a lot of trouble with this one.

I can get the bubble PDF embed element to display PDF’s from a Dropdown’s value easy enough. But I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to connect to multiple Dropdowns?

My contingency is to install a PDF embed element to service each Dropdown. But that seems redundant?

I’ve tried a few different ‘search - filter/sort’ methods designed to target each Dropdown, but nothing seems to work. It would seem possible to do?

Has anyone figured this out?

Might not be redundant at all. Some plugins require multiple installs on a page, if one wants multiple things to happen that the plugin does.

But don’t take this to the bank. I am not familiar with how this particular plugin works. Just thought it might be worthwhile mentioning this.

Thanks, cmarchan. I’m still not finding any examples, tutorials or other content that shows this kind of use. So, to keep things moving, I’m just going to have to run it that way… Thanks, again, for getting back to me.

Ok, This works… First, I just needed to put each of the three bubble Dropdowns into their own separate groups. With each dropdown using their parent groups to draw data through I then created a workflow action for each dropdown: “When Dropdown ABC’s value is changed” “reset group XYZ’s data.” In this way, only one of the three dropdown’s values is valid at any one time.

Finally, in the element editor of the PDF Embed element I set dynamic data to each dropdown: dropdown_ABC’s value’s URL dropdown_PDQ value’s URL dropdown_XYZ value’s URL.

Would love to know if there’s a better way of doing this.

It sounds you have one good way.

Plugins are creations by folks who want to contribute to Bubble’s functionality. :+1:
