Now you can make PDF files in back-end workflows at Bubble with PDF Conjurer!
Make more with the PDF Conjurer at server-side using the PDF Make!
You can insert into your PDF file:
Texts
Images
Tables
Columns
Header / Footer
There is a total of 20 server-side actions that you can use in the back-end workflows to build your PDF file. These actions are very similar to those used on the client-side, with some particularities from the server-side Bubble actions! So, if you already use it on the client-side, it will be easy for you to use it on the server-side too!
Each action returns the configurations to the next action, and at the end, the plugin returns a base 64 string that the user can use in other actions in the back-end workflow, including make the file upload!
💡
All actions receive the previous action result (except the “Initialize PDF Document” action), it will be always the first parameter you need to insert into the action! Please don’t forget! Each action will be shown below!
Plugin Actions

Upload PDF
Use this action to upload the resulting PDF via a back-end workflow, but you need a API Workflow that receives a file type field. This action returns the uploaded file URL
Upload file URL: the URL of your API Workflow that uploads the file to the Bubble server (see next page for more details)
File input name: the input name that receive the file (file type) in you API Workflow
File name: the result of the action “Conjure PDF” File name
Content: the result of the action “Conjure PDF” Content
Authentication: if the upload API Workflow needs a authorization token (the API key or a token provided by a authentication API Workflow)
Upload API workflow
To configure an upload API workflow is very simple:
Create an API Workflow and give it a name
Add a new parameter with the Type file! Remember the key name to insert into the “Upload PDF” action field “File input name”
Return the file’s URL, using the action “Return data from API” at the “Data (Things)” session
Optional: You can also use “Create a new thing...” to save the file’s data that you want in your database, or use it into another workflow
Workflow example
Initializing your App and initial PDF Conjurer configurations:
Create a new App into your account and add the PDF Conjurer plugin
The server side actions only works into the Backend workflows, so just go to the Top Menu and open the
Backend workflows
In the Backend workflows you can create a workflow like you want (if you have a paid plan), here we create a new API Workflow as example, so give it a name, and make the configurations that you need
2. Use the action Initialize PDF Document to set the initial
configurations of your PDF document
After the Initialize PDF Document action, insert the action that you want to add a content, you can use it in any order that you want
Remember to load the previous step result Configurations into the first field of each action
To use special structures like multi-columns and repeating structures:
After the Initialize PDF Document (Not necessarily right after) action, insert the action that initialize the structure
The content must be between the start action and the end action of the corresponding structure, you can use these fields to specify where the content will be inserted, if none of these fields were used, the content will be inserted into the document
Remember to insert the end action, in order to insert the structure into the document, before the “Conjure PDF” action
Repeated tables must be inserted inside a repeating structure
You can also combine multi-columns with repeating structures, using both fields in the actions!
You can insert repeated tables into multi-colunms when this multi-column are into a repeating structure
To activate the header and footer:
Remember to use the activate header/footer on PDF action, you can use only one or both into your document:
The background doesn’t need to be activated
Insert content into these structures:
You can use the fields in an action to put the element into these structures
💡
The elements into the header or footer are placed into a multi-column, so you can use the columns width property to adjust the content size
💡
If the content is larger than the available space, it will be not displayed correctly
After insert all the content you need:
Use the action Conjure PDF
Set the last action into the first field
Set the PDF Document name
Choose if you want to insert the data header at the result base 64 string
The action returns the base 64 string with the document content, and its name with the pdf extension
Both the file name and the base 64 string can be:
Returned from your API Workflow
Saved into the database
Uploaded it into the Bubble server through the action “Upload PDF” and an upload API Workflow (see next page)
Uploading the PDF document
Configure an upload API Workflow (see page 34) and get your Workflow API root URL at your App Settings panel > API
After the action Conjure PDF:
Use the action Upload PDF in your workflow
Into field “Upload file URL” insert your Workflow API root URL plus “/your_upload_workflow_name”
Insert the key name that receive a file into your upload workflow into the field “File input name”
The “File name” field receives the “Conjure PDF” action File name result
The “Content” field receives the “Conjure PDF” action Content result
If you chose not that the workflow run without authentication, you need to insert the API token or a valid token provided by an authentication API Workflow into the “Authentication” field
The action returns the file's URL if it managed to locate it, in other words if you configured your upload workflow correctly:
You can find the file into the App Data panel > File manager
You can also save the file’s URL in the database, with the other information, like the name and his base64 string!
For example, to generate a list of files (periodic reports), or use it to send in an email, a message, show on a page and the user can click and open the file
FAQ and Common Use Cases.
How to use the plugin with RTL languages/ Unicode.
1 Download the appropriate font on your device, then create a DB field responsible for storing it.
Keep in mind that not all fonts are supported by the plugin library, so feel free to experiment with them until you find a font that works specifically for your language.
2. Create a data type field of “File” type that will be responsible for storing the fonts
3. Load the font in your App data tab
4. Copy and paste the URL of the font in the workflow as in this screenshot below. Note: You need to fill all 4 fields to avoid errors, if you need only one font for example you need only regular Japanese font, then fill all 4 fields with the same font URL, if you need to use multiple fonts fill the font fields accordingly.
5. Define the new style for the font. Make sure that the name you give the font in the previous steps is the exact same in the field Style name
6. Now you can use the new font in the actions: Create text, Create Multicolum, Create table action, etc. Make sure to fill the “Style field” of these actions with the same name as in the previous actions!
Create text or Insert Image on a PDF Model threw the following error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'replace')
Actions like Create text or Insert image cannot be left as empty, if you use dynamic data expressions you need to make sure that Bubble doesn’t see them as empty, or else the plugin will throw errors because it doesn’t see what content to display.
You could check how Bubble sees your dynamic expression by launching your page in Step-by-Step mode and paying close attention to the Create Text/ Insert Images actions their dynamic data values shouldn’t be empty!
We suggest considering adding to all actions that rely on dynamic data to add content to your PDF final, to have a condition that will make it so that the plugin skips an action if it has empty data. You can find the screens attached in our previous reply
Example based on a Create text on PDFModel action:
You need to copy the expression and set a condition that will trigger only when the expression is not empty.
By setting it the following way the plugin will skip this action in case it has empty data, and will get to the next one without throwing errors.
