Pdf generator/export

[guptast]

Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, a native Wappler PDF generator will be another great addition to the application

I tried to download the pdf again on a mobile device and it worked. I had some JS and CSS libraries in the html head tag that were causing the issue.

I have also used this recommendation from @ben to add a button that provides users another option to print / save as a pdf. It is working on all types of devices.

Using dynamic data to populate existing PDF

Hi Neil, I have come to the conclusion that the modern web browser does an excellent job at converting HTML to PDF. Have a look at https://hollandtrade.com.au/wcart/, add a product or two, change the quantities and print or create a PDF. All it takes is an inclusion of a button (or similar) like: <button class="btn" onclick="javascript:window.print();"><i class="fas fa-print"></i>&nbsp; Print the Invoice</button>

I will be binding components on the PDF to a database. There are a couple of improvements I would like to make in the code:

1. Dynamically update the Exported file name with a couple of field values from the database - use a variable in the JS function and bind it to fields in the database to always generate a unique pdf filename
2. Open the PDF automatically on devices after a download has been completed

Could someone please assist me if something similar has been done in their projects?
