+1 for multipage. Its the only thing missing for us

Hi Stefanie_Van_Steelan

I got Page Designer Block to print multiple records (15) on 1 page by using this method:
8 columns in total: 2 regular & 6 within a grid.

In settings (gear icon)
Table: Food Log
Record Size: Custom
Width (PX): 950
Height (PX): 80
"This affects how much area the record has to print on, like ‘mini pages’.

Print: Records in a specific view
Which view?: Calories by Week
Record Layout: In a Grid
Record Padding: 10
Paper size: (8.5 x 11 in)
Paper orientation: Portrait
Page Margin (PX): 1

[ My printer settings ] Canon MG7520
Papersize: 8.5" x 11" 22 x 28 cm
Margins: custom
Scale: 65
Options: Headers & Footers
Left Margin: 1"
Top Margin: 0.5"
Right Margin: 0"
Bottom Margin: 0"

Hope this works for you, if not maybe it will give Airtable staff a place to start looking.

All The Best,

Pablo Rios

There are workarounds, but they are a pain and not at all perfect… +1 for this!!

I’m not having luck with the work arounds…really need this feature.

We would love this!!!

+1 Yes please! This would definitely make the pro version worthwhile for our company. We have close to a hundred items that need to be invoiced under one record each month. Unfortunately, those don’t fit on one page. Right now, I can’t make the table large enough to display all the records, so the custom print setting isn’t working either.

I have noticed that the text in a “select” field won’t resize, so even though I could make my table rows much smaller, because of one field, there is a lot of wasted space. Perhaps this could be changed as well?

edit: I just figured out how to get the “custom” setting to work. I was trying to set it in the “print” screen, but you can actually expand the record height from the block’s settings menu. And now it is printing across multiple pages!!

+1 on my end. Like all the feature requests on forms that are essential to input data, the page designer block needs to be top notch to be able to output data. Workarounds are nice, but not enought. Thanks

Yes!! we really need this development ! Thank you for this killing app !

I became interested in Airtable to create data-driven design brochures using the Page Designer block.
The #1 hurdle to this is multi-page per record support, although there are plenty of other features I’d like to see on there.

I could see the Page Designer block becoming it’s own Canva or Adobe Spark, except with the power of a data-driven back end.

Please try https://www.pagemonk.com . It’s under development but supports multi record and multi page document creation.

hi, @PageMonk this is useful, but it is not clear if this will be free or paid and if paid, what is the cost?

Hi @Indresh_Kumar Current feature set will be free . Do you have any feature requests?

I don’t have any requests at the moment. But I wanted to confirm (before starting to use the app) if it’s production grade. I thought it’s in beta because there is no mention of price anywhere.

I agree, this is essential for data output. Any idea when this might become a reality?

Please need it so much :frowning:

Same issue as many of you. I have records that some are large and the table Airtable formats are too big. I could probably fit all my lists on the page if I could format the table smaller, otherwise, I too need multi-page documents.

This would be very useful

This was a great idea but the problem I am facing is with the resolution of the attachment. The attachment is a PDF and when I add it and increase it’s size to fit the “extra” page it gets blurry. Any thoughts on how to avoid this problem?

Depends on the source and format of the PDF. If the PDF is merely a carrier medium for scanned images — like the redacted Mueller Report — you’re pretty much at the mercy of whoever created the PDF—

— actually, you’re pretty much at the mercy of whoever created the PDF, regardless. If that person is you, check your settings for PDF generation and increase the resolution of the finished PDF. If the PDF is largely text- rather than image-based and editable, you might be able to open it with Acrobat or some other PDF editor and resave it at a higher res. Both LibreOffice and WPS Office Suite are free packages offering such functionality, although I have little experience with that feature on either. (I use LibreOffice for most writing, spreadsheet, and presentation work, but I find I’m turning more and more to WPS for presentations and, especially, animation for video.)

Thanks! But that might not work for my use case as I am receiving the PDF from customers as a form input so sadly I am at their mercy. These PDFs are resumes and are largely text converted to pdf.

+1 for this feature. Using current workaround of setting custom page size but then printing letter.

+1 here. I created 3 dynamic pages to combine with 3 other static pages then merge all into 1 pdf file. However, the pages created with Word and Page Designer always come out different sizes when converted to pdf even if I set them to the same page size in printing or in the document settings. Please add multiple pages capabilities for Page Designer. Thank you.

I have an application which can have several hundred line items in a table, each consisting of up to 10 columns.

I have a Table View which shows all the data I wish to publish - is it not possible to create an element in Page Designer which automatically presents that table with all the line items visible in the sort and grouping order selected in the table view?

The issues I have with Page Designer at present are:

• no way to adjust the size of columns - this is happening automatically and is not always how I want it
• time consuming adding in all the columns and getting them in the correct order when this has already been done in the Table View.
• I have to add every line item one by one - which is time consuming for hundreds of items. Could there be a feature to add all items?
• The Table element in Page Designer needs to flow across multiple pages and automatically repeat column headings on each page, as well as have header and footer functionality.

Looking forward to seeing these features becoming available. :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

I just signed up. Are there any instructions? I cannot seem to find how to start.

These two items would provide much more flexibility.

1. Multipage lists. This solves data rows that exceed what can be printed on a a single page. Examples include 100 or 10,000 inventory items.

2. Ability to ingest one page into another page designer, with the primary page feeding a datasource to the nested page. Then a single page(block?) could be reused in many places (imagine a product card, used in many other pages).

Thank you for your consideration.
