I have an app now that uses Google Sheets to load items into a card that generates a QR code for a link so I can easily re-order items in my inventory. The final card looks something like this.

I’m curious to see if I can do this all in glide or do something that would allow me to print from the app or create a PDF that I could then print.

I tried using the PDFMonkey integration as I do have the paid plan of glide and I’m trying to avoid paying for PDFMonkey. Seems like they don’t have a barcode font built in, I can’t use an external font, and I can’t pass images from glide to it.

Is there any other way to accomplish this?

If you use the barcode inside Glide and then use the image URL on the pdf monkey, it should work.

> Hello everyone I want to share one technique for converting HTML content to PDF Just use AI to create an html script that converts html to pdf. Then place it in the Glide template column so that you can dynamically update the content. Then use this template in the Glide Integrations\Browser\HTML to URL column. Finally, use the results from the Glide HTML to URL column in the Glide Web Embed component. May be someone already showed this trick early, but i want to share it again.

Perhaps you can do something like this.

As an avid PDFMonkey user, I would still vouch for it. I’m not sure if they allow loading base64 images on the free plan though.
