Hello!  
I would like to know if it is possible to transform the table seen in the layout into a new Google spreadsheet or PDF.

I need to make the displayed list available, with all the information contained in the columns, so that salespeople can process and even print orders.

Thank you!

I would suggest using PDFMonkey/DocsAutomator for this.

With PDFMonkey, you can pass in a JSON array of the rows in the screen, and use iteration to display what you need.

I tried but I’m having a hard time understanding how to do it, unfortunately.

Is there a simpler option that could generate at least an approximate result?

Sorry I’m not aware of something like that. Either way, the steps would look like this:

- Configure a template in PDFMonkey/DocsAutomator.
- Define the variables.
- Configure your data in Glide to conform to the required structure for those PDFMonkey/DocsAutomator variables.
- Add an action to generate a PDF through PDFMonkey/DocsAutomator.
- Add a column to store the result PDF.

A very simple approach would be to use the CSV Integration to export as CSV, which could then be imported into a Google Spreadsheet. If the data is all in one table, you could also export directly from the Data Editor.
