Unfortunately, there is no way to restrict anybody from changing extensions’ configurations — unless you make them a commenter or read-only user. There is also no activity log for extensions.
Your only option within Airtable itself would be to limit your users to interface-only access, and then give just your trusted users access to the base where the extension lives.
Otherwise, you would need to automate your documentation creation by outsourcing it to a 3rd-party app which can automatically turn your document into a PDF file & automatically insert it into an attachment field so people can print it afterwards (or email it or do whatever you would like to do with it).
Here are some options:
1. One of the most popular PDF creation tools for Airtable is DocuMint. DocuMint can be automated via a button, and it also offers full Make support.
2. Another popular tool is Docs Automator, which integrates with Google Docs.
3. Formstack Documents also offers full Make support.
4. However, you can choose ANY document creation app that you would like, and automate the PDF creation process by using Make’s automations & integrations. You can even use good old fashioned Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.
If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is how you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.
