Hi all
So I’m keen to make a report from the data in Glide. But I’m using the free version so integrations are out. I thought I had found the winning way in a community post referring to HTML2PDF from Loqode but the site has now been turned off and the V2 they refer to is not available for users of the Free Glide.
Is there a way to create PDF reports in Free Glide? Or is it now only available to the paid version?
Thanks
Thanks. I’ve found that the HTML2PDF is still around but under a different URL now. I’m trying that out to see if it will work but not sure it can print out a Glide Collection (ie., all medical rows for a set cat)… or more truthfully, I’m not sure if I can work out how to make it do that.
I will also check out the above method for learning purposes too.
Either way, you must construct a HTML string to bring to the PDF, and I think you can just use Create File for that instead of trying to figure out the HTML2PDF method.
yeah, that makes sense. If it is is pretty much a similar process then, yes, it makes more sense to keep it all in house.
Hmmm, trying to find some instructions on how to use that Files integration…
I think it’s all in the Configure Action section. What question do you have?
hi,
how can you setup this function allow you to download the whole database?
I only managed to download my own row.
thanks
LOL, sorry, I was after a guide on how to configure and set it up in order to use it to create a PDF. I will see if I can work it out once I find this configure action section. See if it is obvious for non-technical people 
Hello,
I am currently looking to generate a PDF from a free plan and I’m interested in the HTML2PDF technique. However, the solution you offer does not seem to be available on the free plan, as it requires an upgrade (and I currently have 0/0 available).
As I am new to this, I might have missed something. Could you please let me know if there is an alternative or a method to generate PDFs within the free plan?
Have you had a look at the DocsAutomator integration?
It’s not available on the free plan 
I’ve had a lot of success using with Google apps script to generate PDFs from Glide.
Takes a lot of work but the results are exactly what I need.
You would need the call api action - so suspect that rules you out as I don’t think that’s available for free
Yeah no good for free level. I’m sure there are plenty of add ons for the paid version that will do what we need but we just don’t have the $$ yet to pay for the paid version. I’ve been trying the free HTML2PDF but big learning curve in how to get it to display the json collection nicely.
Hi
I’m a little late to the party but intrigued to know what you are trying to achieve. Should be / could be quite simple - but you’d need to be on a paid plan.
If you like - I’d be happy to make a proof of concept app (free of charge - assuming you can work around my schedule and provide nice clear instructions / examples of what you need)
That way you can decide if it’s worth investing.
To be frank - Glide is a serious tool and if you’re serious you’ll need to pay to use it.

Hi Andrew
I do have an app built already. I’m a complete newbie to all of this but I’ve got something working well at the moment - thanks to the patience of the Glide Community answering my many questions - but I’m trying to get a PDF comprised of data from three tables. We do plan to pay for the base paid version but, being a not for profit rescue, we have to allocate funds and we are working on it 
. I was just hoping to do the PDF using the free HTML2PDF option but I think it may be beyond my skill set to do the three tables but I’m still trying!
Thanks for your generous offer as well. As I’m going to be the one likely “supporting” the app for the foreseeable future, it’s probably best I keep trying to learn it as I go as much as I can. But, truly appreciate your kind offer 
No worries!
I think I’m similar to you in that I saw a need and worked out myself how to do it. I’m not a developer either
Good luck with it and my cats wanted to say keep up the good work!
Thanks. We can already see how much Glide is helping us with the basic app I’ve made so far which is why we know we want the paid version (the scheduled automations will REALLY be amazing). But we just have more important things for our money at the moment such as a kitten that needed surgery costing $3.5k AU. But we will get there.
