How to Generate and Download a PDF in Bubble?

[AnthonUi]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a way to generate a PDF directly from Bubble.
Do you know of any plugin or method to do this?

The goal would be to generate a PDF and then allow the user to download it from the front end.

Thanks!

Hi, You can do this directly in Bubble using a plugin or an external service. I’d recommend SelectPDF if you want to convert a page or element straight into a PDF, it’s straightforward and works well. If you need more control over the layout, PDF Conjurer is a good choice.
The workflow would be: generate the PDF, save it to Bubble’s storage, and then display a download link so the user can get it from the front end. I can guide you through setting up the workflow if you want.

If you don’t want to pay exorbitant prices for plugins, learn LaTeX, or ask ChatGPT

Geração de PDFs Profissionais sem Gastar com Plugins – Conheça o LaTeX + Cloud Run

Oi pessoal! Quero deixar uma dica importante aqui pra quem, como eu, já se cansou dos plugins caros de geração de PDF no Bubble.

Not 100% sure what you mean by ‘generate and download a PDF’

On my property management site, users can download their lease, etc., as a PDF.

I use a button that when it’s clicked, starts a workflow:

and the javascript is:

this does a pop-up that allows the user to print as PDF, etc.

Simple and easy.

But, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for
