Unfortunately, none of that is natively possible with Airtable's Page Designer nor Airtable's forms. (Also, on a related note, Page Designer can not be automated in any way.)
For creating PDF files that can combine multiple records and put them all on the same PDF document, you will need to turn to an external document creation app.
Here are a few options:
1. One of the most popular PDF creation tools for Airtable is DocuMint. This can be automated natively or by using Make’s DocuMint automations.
2. Another popular tool is Docs Automator, which integrates with Google Docs.
3. However, you can choose ANY document creation app that you would like, and automate the PDF creation process by using Make.
You can use good old fashioned Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or even newer apps like Formstack Documents or PDF Monkey.
There is a small learning curve with Make, which is why I created this basic navigation video to help. I also provide the links to a few other Make training resources there as well.
For creating Airtable forms with multiple line items:
1. Fillout natively communicates with Airtable in real time, and gives tons of advanced features that are all Airtable-specific. I gave a brief demo of Fillout on this episode of the BuiltOnAir Podcast.
2. JotForm is possibly the most feature-rich form software on the Internet, and you can send data from JotForm to Airtable using Make’s JotForm integrations.
3. Cognito Forms is another great form app that allows for unlimited line items, and you can send data from Cognito Forms to Airtable using Make’s Cognito Forms integrations.
p.s. If you have a budget for your project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with any of this, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consulting — ScottWorld
Hi! I see that the problem has already been solved, but maybe my comment will be useful to someone.
There are two ways to solve this problem using Plumsail Documents - an application for automatically generating documents from templates:
1. First, as described above, you can use one of the connectors and the application to generate a PDF document. The connector can be Make or Zapier, for example. Plumsail Documents act as a document generation tool.
Zapier or Make will extract the data from Airtable and then populate it into a document template in Plumsail Documents to generate a PDF.
2. The method is much simpler, you can use the Plumsail Documents extension for Airtable. Directly extract data from the Airtable table and generate a PDF document according to the template used. You can read about this integration in Plumsail Documents Documentation
