Hi Airtable builders - I’m working on Pdfier, a small tool for Airtable PDF workflows, and I’d love feedback from people who generate documents from real bases.
The use case I’m focused on is when the PDF needs more than one flat record:
- invoices with linked line items
- work orders with linked tasks or materials
- reports with child rows
- customer documents where the generated PDF should land back in an attachment field
The workflow I’m testing is:
1. connect an Airtable base
2. read the table schema and sample rows
3. resolve linked records before rendering
4. generate a reusable PDF layout from the actual fields
5. save the finished PDF back to Airtable
I wrote up the linked-record part here:

I’m not looking to pitch a discount or do a launch promo here. I’m trying to understand what experienced Airtable users expect from this kind of workflow.
If you generate PDFs from Airtable today, what are you using? Page Designer, Documint, Make/Zapier, scripts, a custom backend? And what breaks first when linked records or multi-page tables are involved?
