For now the PDF-Export is just a kind of a screenshot of the display. Some tables are not fully rendered on it and also all the buttons are visible on the pdf. That’s not my vision of a clean PDF-Export. Is there something Softr can do about this?
Agreed! One of my clients brought this up earlier this week. We tried the CSV export, but it simply makes the content hard to read. Using the save-to-PDF option doesn’t render all of the entries on the page, instead a weird cut-off snippet of only the first.
They want users to be able to export as needed, and it simply isn’t practical with the current setup.
(For clarity, in our case, this is meeting notes from a series or sessions. Each note is an individual database entry, set to show fully in the page. When the PDF-export option is used, you only get the block data at the top and a cut-off view of only the first meeting note on the page. It’s a mess and completely unusable.)
Depending on where your data is stored, I’ve been very impressed by Typeflow connected to Airtable. (https://app.typeflow.us/)
I run it through Softr and have a pretty simple automation in Airtable to trigger it! It’s a little slow (takes 20-30 seconds) which might be prohibitive but for my purposes it has worked well.
