Plugin details

DocuPotion is a powerful tool that gives you full control over the design of your PDFs.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cranford Tech is committed to providing 5-star customer support. Check out the reviews at the bottom of this page and on our other plugin pages to see what people think of us!


Create beautiful, detailed PDFs
Design a PDF in a separate page of your Bubble app. Users can then create a PDF of that page from any location in your app.

Page breaks that just work
DocuPotion ensures your elements break cleanly across pages. You can also add page breaks to specific elements, set top/bottom margins for that perfect spacing and start repeating group cells on new pages.

Create PDFs instantly or schedule for later
DocuPotion is designed to work in backend workflows, so you can allow the user to download their PDF straight away or schedule it for later

Other benefits
• Add headers and footers (including page numbers)
• Choose from a range of page sizes, including A4, Letter and Legal or set your own custom dimensions


I set up DocuPotion and deployed it within 30 minutes. Everything worked seamlessly and Alex is always responsive and helpful for support. It is also the only plugin that supports async/backend PDF generation securely so I'd strongly recommend it. George Collier - Founder, Not Quite Unicorns


NOTE FOR USERS ON A BUBBLE AGENCY PLAN
DocuPotion needs to be able to navigate to your app in order to create PDFs. If you are on an agency plan, or have restricted access to your app via a username/password, DocuPotion will not be able to access your app by default and you will get blank PDFs. However, you can give DocuPotion access to your app by following the simple steps outlined in this article.

FAQ
How can I change the quality of the PDF generated by DocuPotion?
You can control the quality of your PDF via the 'Device Scale Factor' field that comes with the 'Create PDF' action and by changing the elements you put on the Bubble page itself. See this article for full details.

Does DocuPotion use a 3rd party server?
Yes, DocuPotion uses an AWS server to create PDFs. DocuPotion does not save down any of the PDFs created to our own database. Certain information is retained in the DocuPotion logs for 48 hours (for customer support purposes), before being automatically deleted.

Does DocuPotion respect privacy rules?
Yes, you can 'run as a certain user’ by using the Magic Link field that comes with the ‘Create PDF’ action. See this article for full details.

I'm following the instructions but my PDF is blank. Why?
This typically occurs when a username/password is required to access your app. This can happen if you're on a Bubble agency plan and haven't yet transferred the app to your client. You can give DocuPotion access to your app by following the simple steps outlined in this article.

Some of my repeating group data is not appearing in the PDF?
This happens because DocuPotion is creating the PDF before all of the data is loaded. The solution is to tick the 'Show all items immediately' option on the repeating group. See this article for full details.

A plugin that finally fit my requirements, with great tutorials and a quick deployment!
November 6th, 2025
I have extremely dynamic prints of a 3-level-deep repeating group, where my customers can seek anywhere from 1 to 100s of records, each having groups of table-like RGs with any number of records inside. My previous solution of trying to conditionally fit group sizes to print pages was unwieldy and far from perfect - plus the step of making the user print to pdf in browser would often jumble up the layout when hitting unfortunately positioned page breaks. This plugin was clearly designed to solve these issues and ticked every box! There were still some nuances with spillover from page breakswith my extra-complex element tree, but Alex from Cranford was so quick to respond and offer me solutions that had everything working flawlessly. I am happy to say that my prints work perfectly - I shipped the print feature, and my customers love it. Another highlight: The plugin architecture allows multiple ways to accomplish dynamically displaying things, from passing url params to tying dynamic data to the datatype that gets sent to the server that generates the pdf. This flexibility made it easy to convert my hacky bubble workaround to a perfectly running print feature. Thanks Alex! :)
Thank you for the kind words. Always great to get detailed feedback of how exactly people use DocuPotion. Delighted you were able to ship the print feature and that your customers are loving it! (plugin author)
