Hi!

Does anyone know if there’s a way to use something like uiActivityViewController in Thunkable? I have several variables, and I need to populate them to specific places on a document, then be able to export the document as PDF and allow the user to save. uiActivityViewController would be ideal, but I’m open to other options!

Hi @sterling.haringla0p,

Welcome to the community! This sounds really interesting actually, and like something that would have find a wide range of business uses (Creating invoices, etc)

Unfortunately we don’t have a native component that can do this in-app but I would imagine that there are probably plenty of APIs that you can pass this data to, have them generate a doc and return a PDF to you.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but let me know if that might suit your particular use case.

Thanks!
