Instructions

Instructions for Use
1. Set Up Plugin Element on Page

   Add the PDF Generator & Uploader element to your Bubble page.

2. Configure Properties
    []Element ID: Enter the ID of the HTML element you want to capture as a PDF. Ensure the element has a unique ID, which can be set in Bubble’s property editor. []PDF File Name: Specify the name for your PDF file. This name will be used both for the downloaded file (if autoDownload is enabled) and the uploaded file in Bubble storage. []Auto Download: Toggle this to control whether the generated PDF should automatically download after it’s created and uploaded. If true, the PDF will download immediately; if false, the URL will be published to the state without triggering a download. []Attach To Object (Optional): Select a Bubble database object to attach the PDF to. Leave this empty if you don’t need the PDF associated with a specific object in the database.

3. Access the Generated PDF URL

   The plugin publishes the PDF’s URL to the returnedPDF state once the upload is complete. You can access this URL in workflows to store, display, or share the file.

4. Trigger PDF Generation

   To generate the PDF, use the Generate PDF action in workflows. This action captures the specified HTML element, generates a PDF file, uploads it, and optionally triggers the download based on your settings.

5. Workflow Example
    []Example 1: Generate, upload, and download PDF.
      [] Set autoDownload to true. [] Specify an element ID and PDF file name. [] Run the Generate PDF action. The PDF will be uploaded, and the URL will be stored in returnedPDF while automatically downloading to the user’s device.
    []Example 2: Generate and upload PDF without download.
      [] Set autoDownload to false.
    • Run the Generate PDF action. The PDF will be uploaded and accessible in returnedPDF, but it won’t be downloaded automatically.
