Two ways to create PDFs
DocuPotion lets you create PDFs from your Bubble app in two ways.
Create PDF from a Bubble page
Design your PDF in a page of your Bubble app. DocuPotion can then generate a PDF of that page and add all the good stuff (like page breaks, headers, footers) that give PDFs that extra bit of snazz.
Recommended approach if you want to design complex PDFs with detailed repeating groups.
Create PDF from DocuPotion template
Describe the PDF you need and DocuPotion's AI editor builds a reusable template. Send data from your Bubble app through our plugin to generate PDFs from that template.
Recommended approach for simple documents (like invoices, purchase orders etc.).
Generate any document type from Bubble
Build a template once for each document type, then automate generation from any Bubble app workflow.

Creating PDFs in Bubble can be really frustrating
We know all about the pain.
Sure, there are some plugins that can help. But they always come with limitations.
×
The element you're PDF-ing needs to be visible on the page
×
You have to create the PDF straight away and can't wait until something happens
×
The PDF doesn't have neat page breaks or certain elements don't get captured properly
DocuPotion started life off as a Bubble plugin in 2024. We built it so Bubble builders didn't have to endure all the hassle involved in creating nice-looking PDFs.
It's since evolved to be much more than just a Bubble plugin, but we've never forgotten our roots.
Bubble.io PDF Generator FAQ
How do I generate a PDF in a Bubble.io app?
Install the DocuPotion plugin from the Bubble marketplace, then use the Create PDF action in any workflow. You can either generate a PDF from a Bubble page (great for complex layouts and repeating groups) or from a DocuPotion template populated with your Bubble data.
Can I generate a PDF from a Bubble page that the user can't see?
Yes. DocuPotion can render any page in your app, including hidden admin pages or pages the current user lacks access to, without changing what the user sees on screen.
What's the difference between page-to-PDF and template-to-PDF?
Page-to-PDF takes any Bubble page and renders it as a PDF, ideal for complex multi-page reports with detailed repeating groups. Template-to-PDF lets you describe a document to DocuPotion's AI editor, then send Bubble data through merge fields. Pick page-to-PDF for design complexity, template-to-PDF for simple structured documents like invoices.
Can DocuPotion be used in Bubble backend workflows?
Yes. The plugin works in both frontend and backend workflows, including API workflows on a list. That means you can bulk-generate PDFs, schedule them for the future, or trigger them from external events.
Does the Bubble.io PDF generator handle page breaks correctly?
Yes. DocuPotion gives you control over page breaks: force a break before a specific element, or use smart breaks that only activate when an element would otherwise be split across pages.
How do I include dynamic data from my Bubble database in the PDF?
Pass any Bubble data type, custom state, or workflow value to the Create PDF action, then reference it through merge fields in your template (e.g. {{customerName}}). Bubble's privacy rules are respected so users only see data they're authorized to see.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Try the Bubble.io PDF generator free, no credit card required.
