PDF exporting 🔒

Use PDF exporting when you want users to download a screen as a PDF.

This feature is available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

Create a PDF screen

1. Create a new screen
2. Choose PDF
3. Add the components you want to appear in the document
4. Bind any data you need
5. Save the screen

Build the PDF

Use standard Budibase components such as:

• Tables
• Text
• Images
• Data providers

The PDF screen uses the same grid layout as a regular screen.

Configure the download experience

Use the screen settings to set:

• PDF title
• Download button text

Both fields support bindings, so you can make the output depend on the current user or app context.

Notes

• The PDF title also becomes the filename of the downloaded file
• Use the same layout patterns you would use on a regular screen
• Keep the report layout simple if you want the exported PDF to stay readable
