We have some detail pages that we actually export as a PDF (using another tool, not the built in PDF export button). Would be nice if there was a detail block or page specifically designed for pages intended to be exported as PDFs so that you could format headers, footers, page-breaks etc. Has anyone had any success doing this in any way?

Depends where your data is.
My data is in Airtable and I have been pretty happy with Typeflow which generates Google Docs based off a template. I trigger those via Softr, and Typeflow puts the URL right back into Airtable which mean my users get a downloadable link in like 15 seconds. Not too bad! You can also get a PDF copy.
Ahhh. We did look at Typeflow (among others) but we’re using the Softr database, dang it.
Docs Automator?
I big shout for Typeflow here if anyone needs a reference. Kevin the owner developer is amazing proactive and helpful and always up for new ideas. He has also launched the system to work with softr Database now as well as airtable. Please do check it out. I produce about 3500 pdfs’s a month on his system and it never missed a trick.
typeflow can work with softr as well now.
Now with workflows and API call action I think any tool could be used for PDF creation
