What's New

And there it is - one of the most anticipated feature in Wappler - a full blown online PDF Creator as App Connect component! You can now turn any page area into a PDF content and enhance it with all PDF properties like headers, footers, watermark and additional styling. And the best part - it’s all done with App Connect! So generating full dynamic invoices, reports, certificates and more, and making them downloadable as PDF, is now a breeze with Wappler!

The best part is that all PDF styling is directly derived from your own Bootstrap 5 design that you already have on your page in Wappler! There also additional components for specific PDF styling like for headers and footers. See Using App Connect PDF Creator
So go ahead and try it. Note the new App Create PDF component is available on the Beta channel only.

Furthermore we have greatly improved the Bootstrap 5 Table Generator, so you can now create even more complex and styled tables with ease. This will give you more powers to use the table generator together with the new PDF Creator to create complex and styled tables in your PDFs.

Bootstrap is also updated with more options for the table styling and also the new Display 5 and 6 options for headers.
