I agree and I do have strong opinions and I’ve been a lot less vocal these days as I want to be more respectful of the team and their magnificent efforts. And our business has grown to the point now where I’d prefer to hire Wappler devs and let them focus on the roadmap.

You can see some our Wappler efforts here from a meetup last year Richard.

It’s a little out of date now but remains indicative.

Meetup July 2022

I’m a regular to these meetings but I started after this one was released. I’ve just watched this and sat here for an hour literally with my jaw on the table - thanks for taking the time to do this, its an amazing view of whats possible with Wappler, especially the API integrations - well done!

Its also the first time I’ve seen @mark1 almost speechless

Bump to this feature.

[TMR]

This has had a lot of votes, I’m keeping my fingers crossed it will be added to Wappler.

[Chackmool]

Have you tried this?

HTML to PDF Action - NodeJS & PHP [Open Source]

Yo, Presenting HTML to PDF custom module. This extension adds to the already great set of components Wappler provided by default. Its available for both PHP and NodeJS server models. [image] Add HTML to PDF step in server connect from File Management category, specify an output folder path & name along with your custom HTML and the module will create a PDF from that HTML and save it. You can then use that PDF to send as attachment via email or just store the path in DB. Almost all options …

I dont know even how to install it…

[TMR]

I gave up as I had issues with setting up Puppeteer…

[mgaussie]

Same. I then just used for now an external service via api.

[Chackmool]

I am using this.

Convert any URL or Web Page to PDF. Online HTML to PDF API service.

What are you using?

[JonR]

Voted for this feature. It would be nice to have a built in option. For an external option I am currently using this service here successfully for anyone else like me who needed a solution - https://pdfgeneratorapi.com/

[TMR]

I’m using this one:

HTML to PDF API - NoCodeAPI

[AlexandreMoreira]

dear @TMR, i still looking for a solution! did you finded?

[AlexandreMoreira]

Hi @UKRiggers, you know if this resource works with node.js projects?

[TMR]

I’m using the one I posted a link to above, I would prefer a native Wappler function though if it was at all possible.

[AdrianoLuiz]

Is there any chance this feature will come to Wappler natively?

@AdrianoLuiz

Is there any chance this feature will come to Wappler natively?

Well, we’re up to 81 votes now so you never know, this could end up being a feature. I certainly hope so.

[UKRiggers]

I am sorry but I don’t use NodeJS and so can’t say for sure.

[Notum]

I’m encourage everyone to start digging in to custom extension to achieve your goals with PDFs.
I’ve create 3 custom extenstion for 3 different projects to generate PDF based on data received from Wappler.
Depending on your project requirements there are so many nuances: footers, headers, pagination, watermarks, page breaks, columns and many many more.
And all these is achievable with PDFMake NodeJS library - http://pdfmake.org/playground.html

I vote for checking out the custom extensions, as well. It works perfectly. If you have struggles setting up puppeteer, just keep trying. Or open a thread with your questions.
