How can I create a PDF from values stored in Airtable?

[ashwani.mathur3difzz]

I am looking to generate a PDF from the values that i have stored in Airtable. Idea is to have the PDF open upon a click of a button in Thunkable X for viewing, saving and printing. Do we have any extension in Thunkable X. I have tried different API’s but no success.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi @ashwani.mathur3difzz

There’s no component to create PDFs natively, but there are lots of API’s available for this.

For example:

Help with WEB API POST Request

You will probably want to create the PDF using the HTTP API? https://pdfcrowd.com/doc/api/html-to-pdf/http/ I imagine here is where you might start (though I could be mistaken!) [post-PDF-conversion-start] If you use create object it can create the json headers you need for the API to create the PDF. That link has most of what you need to complete it. (ignore the button click component that’s just for the example)

What issues did you encounter in the past?
