Is there a plugin that allows converting in backend workflow NOT current page to a PDF, but another page that is designed as an invoice? ---

Yes I have done in the past This is one is free tho and the service has free tier if I remember correctly > [@\[New Plugin\] Convertio](http://forum.bubble.io/t/new-plugin-convertio/13330): > > [image] Turn a URL into a base64 encoded jpg, png, bmp or pdf. grab an API key from [convertio.io](http://convertio.io) for free (25 conversion minutes per day) send a url using the “convert url to image process” wait a few seconds then push the id to the “get image” action for the image to return as “content” You can use the get data from external api to “check status” for either status ok or “step\_percent” upto 100. \*\* also when you set the filename you must include the extention ie. snapshot.jpg & w… watch out because the name in plugin store is misspelled ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/a/daacba7a8321d9cb6519c409d5647bd9c988f087.png) ---

It seems that currently, Convertico by Zeroqode is a past version of their current the most popular plugin that converts the page to PDF. This plugin’s quality does not fit my needs. PDF Rocket is expensive, I want to pay to buy a plugin forever for less than 100$ ---

I don’t want to use external services, because they are too expensive and provide only SAAS model, so that I would need to pay thousands of dollars for simple PDF generations. ---

This plugin’s quality does not fit my needs. No I that’s not true. I used both. Convertio is external service and quality was superb for me. I know what plugin you are talking about and I agree that quality was bad. ---

ZeroQode is 35$ for life. Meanwhile, this is free for 50, 9$ for 500 per month. Sometime saving our own time value the investment. @vini_brito Any future project on this? > **[Free And Paid HTML to PDF Plans, Pricing, FAQ](https://pdfshift.io/pricing/)** > > Starting using PDFShift to convert your HTML to PDF for free or consider the benefits of our paid plans.

Oh hi, thanks for the mention! So, I didn’t implemented an external API provider because they get expensive quick, for example in an app of mine I generate **30 PDFs per day per user** and that’d literally be more expensive than the entire monthly fee I get from them just for the PDF generation 😋 that’s how PDF Conjurer was born, infinite PDF’s for free forever. In response to @vovahumnytskiy, if you, or anyone interested, is willing to sponsor the work, we can make PDF Conjurer work server side, which means working inside an API workflow, now called backend workflows. ---

Is [https://pdfshift.io/pricing/](https://pdfshift.io/pricing/) okay for me? I need 200 PDFs per month. ---

@vovahumnytskiy If you’re willing to fund some of Vini’s work to make the Conjurer plugin server-side, I’m willing to contribute. @vini_brito Any idea $ ? ---

I am still doubting that there is better and cheaper solution ---

Hi @vini_brito, I am on for a crowd sponsorship of the server side version of the plugin. Currently I am using your PDF conjurer plugin in combination with the List Processor element from the Utilities (BDK) plugin, since I need to print on PDF some nested repeating group data (3 levels needed with some if clauses). But since both plugins work client side, most of the times the PDF does not get created. The workflow is very long and complicated. I have spent so many hours on it, but so far has been totally frustrating. And basically I can not launch the app (for employees travel expense reporting) because for accounting purposes a PDF of the expense report is of essence. Last try I made was to create a JSON and call an external service called PDF Monkey (they have a free plan up to 300 PDF per month). But since I do not have any developer skill, transform the repeating group data in properly nested JSON was totally not achievable either … So, if you think that a server side version of the PDF Conjurer will solve my case too, let’s talk about the project and the sponsorship (hope someone is interested, because this will solve many situations for Bubblers like me). Thanks Best Stefano PS: any help from the forum is really appreciated too !!! ---

Yeah I’ve seen it but I’d need to take some time looking into what the API receives, what to send and test etc so I won’t be able to chime in this one right now 😐 ---
