Hi, everyone!
We are using Page Designer for creating our Purchase Orders, Delivery Notes and so on. But when we create the file, it is only allowing to print or save as PDF option. It is really handy that taking data from two tables when creating documents with Page Designer. I wonder if it is possible to automate Page Designer to save it into attachment section in related row. If it is not, we are using Make for automations, how can we achieve that goal? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, Page Designer is not able to be automated in any way.

You would need to use external apps to create your PDF files and then save them into your attachment field.

You can check out DocsAutomatorDocuMint, or as you mentioned, you can use Make’s advanced automations and integrations to send your data to any document creation app that you’d like.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

Right now Page Designer can connect with a single table only.
