Hi everyone, for my app I need to generate a bill/ ticket in PDF taking the data from firebase. Does anyone of you know a function ( or a third party service that allows to do that)? I was thinking about creating a Template and filling it from the app. I found this service that uses API but idk …

@wikilinks.infooleua0 , did you ever find a way to do this? How about something like this? [image] How to generate PDF Questions about Thunkable Try using a web service, for example - https://www.html2pdfrocket.com/#

Has there been any further investigation of this topic? I am wanting to do the same thing. I was looking at the link @domhnallohanlon provided, but I don’t know how to implement it. I would like to make a PDF from a google sheet or local table.

In Google sheet, you can create an app script to print to PDF. You will need to populate the sheet with required data and then call the script. I have not tried it but this is what I think.

In summery (so I know what kind of YouTube videos to look up), how do I incorporate an app script with Thunkable? I found this in a Google Search.

if it can be done with HTML and javascrip I’ve done it but the web view won’t let me download the PDF and I get stuck there I’m going to look for the web I made so you can see it, I hope I haven’t deleted it :grimacing:

Yes, you are in the right track. @Vaiper_watafai you will not be able to do it direct. The idea is to make an app script inside the Google sheet and test it to see it works. Next you need to publish the app script to the web. Once this is done, you will use the URL produced by publishing to web t…

Thank you for that. So surprisingly, I was able to have some luck. I found and then modified a script that now returns the created pdf URL in the doGet() of the script. So now I have the script, how do I implement it into the app? Once I get a solid solution, I will share it.

Now you need to convert the doGet() to a URL by choosing “Publish to web” and then test the generated URL in a browser to see that the PDF file is generated.

The file does successfully generate. I was able to see and view it earlier because it is already published. The function doGet is called here: (and the exportSpreadsheet returns the sheet URL) [Function] and I get this string in return with the Published web app (: [URL] If I paste this link in …

Are you using templateHTML in your app script? If yes, go to the example and also create the HTML file that should go with the app script function. I can’t really give much suggestion without seeing the script and the sheet itself.
