Generating PDF for invoices and estimates

Need help
1

Good day!

I’m developing an app that creates invoices and estimates for small businesses and would like to allow users to generate a PDF prior to sending them to their customers. I looked at the plugins available at bubble plugins page and found many options. I tried a few and each one has pros and cons.

Can someone recommend an option that ticks more boxes than others (reliability, scalability, simplicity, etc.)? I’m happy to pay a reasonable price for a good plug in that also has a decent support.

Any recommendation would be highly appreciated.

regards
Khalid

I like craftmypdf as it gives me the most flexibility

it does take a bit to learn all the quirks but it is definitely the better option

pdfmonkey is also a good option

basically I look for a pdf creator which accepts html template and json data and handles page breaks and arrays well

thanks a lot. My app doesn’t have html (at least I don’t think it does haha). Does this affect anything?

doesn’t affect anything, you can use the drag and drop builder in craftmypdf also

I just find it easier to send over html and then add custom css to the craftmypdf template

often I do a mix of part of the template using the drag and drop editor and then part in html - usually because the bubble user wants to style the text that gets sent over to the pdf - otherwise I’d just send raw text in json
