Amazing !! i love this ! just one question , since i'm using privacy rules , i found myself exposing it for everyone so i can be able to print it inside the pdf ! is there anyway i can keep my rules up and still pass the data to the page ? thank you
Glad you're finding PDF Potion useful :) Yes, you can make your PDFs compatible with privacy rules by using the magic link field. You can read the full instructions on how to do this at the link below: docs.pdfpotion.com/article/18-creating-pdfs-that-respect-privacy-rules One thing to note: using this approach means it will take longer to generate the PDF. Any other questions just let me know (or email support@cranfordtech.com)!
Thank you for sharing! Are you considering a pay-per-use business model? The $29 per month starting plan seems high for my current needs, as I don't anticipate generating 1,500 PDFs per month anytime soon. I would be happy to pay $0.10 per generated PDF if a pay-per-use option were available. Alternatively, a plan offering around 500 PDFs for $10 would also be appealing. However, my preference is definitely for a pay-per-use model.
This is a great plugin and fits in well with my project needs. is there a way to pass in a custom state to the pdf page from the page where the user is generating the pdf? i have two custom states the are booleans and depednding on which location the user chooses, sets either set and is suppose to show and hide certain elements on the pdf page.
Hi there, yes this is absolutely possible. What you can do is add a URL parameter to the end of the 'Page Name' input for the 'Create PDF' action and use this to set a custom state on page load. For example, let's say you have a 'yes/no' custom state called 'PDF Mode'. You could set the page name to be 'page_name/?pdf_mode=true'. You can then run a workflow action on page load that sets the custom state ONLY when the page URL contains pdf_mode=true. Hope that helps and if you've any other questions just let me know :)
Hi Alex, I’m struggling to add a data in a Report field. I saw somewhere in your videos how to add the Size (in Kb) of the PDF created, which I managed to do back then, but now I want to send another type of data to the « Report » and I can’t find your video/explanation anymore. I created the new parameter in the get_pdf, then added it to the fields to change in the Report fields, but it won’t work. What am I missing?? Thanks so much.
Hi there, I'm afraid there are a fixed number of parameters that PDF Potion sends back to the callback URL. You can't currently add custom parameters. Sorry about that!
I'm creating another application and I'm using the pdf potion, I've created the page for the pdf and in a section i have some data that is being populated but searching the database and sums (with some custom formatting for the decimal places) certain field based on the contraints. When i generate the pdf all of the totals are coming out as zeros, how to display this data on the pdf?
Hi there, it's hard for me to say without seeing your editor but a couple of thoughts: 1. Does the data rely on dynamic data being sent to the page? 2. Is the data being protected by privacy rules? If so, you'll have to use the magic link field that comes with the Create PDF action. If that doesn't help, feel free to send me an email (alex@cranfordtech.com) with further details and I can take a look 🙂

Hi there, thanks for the feedback! I don't plan on changing the pricing structure anytime soon, but will keep this in mind.
