Here’s a link to a base where I’ve set something up for you to check out. You should be able to see the settings I used for my Page Designer
To note, the Page Designer is displaying a single record from the Orders table
From the looks of it, if you had maybe 20 or more line items your design would break? If you often have more than 20 line items you’d want to look into another solution I reckon
+33Welcome to the community, @Hamza_Novdisty!
Airtable’s Page Designer is extremely limited. It can only print one record per page.
There are a few helpful hints:
- You can add a table of linked records onto your page, but all the linked records together cannot exceed one page.
- You could try making your one page extremely tall (vertically), but you would have to figure out how to deal with the page breaks.
- You could also make your one page extremely short (vertically) and print multiple “short pages” simultaneously onto one piece of paper. However, every single page will have the same static elements, so you couldn’t have one “master header” or “master footer” for your entire document.
Ultimately, most people are unable to use Page Designer for your purposes, so they end up turning to profesional document creation apps for these purposes. A few of the most popular ones that work natively with Airtable are DocuMint, DocuPilot, and On2Air: Actions.
You can also turn to Make to integrate with other document-creation apps.
+28Could you provide some screenshots of the tables that contain the data you want to display in your delivery order?
Could you also include the delivery order you’ve designed so far and what information you’d want to include in it?

Hey there! I recently needed to view and print multiple Airtable records in a single document and found that the Plumsail Documents extension for Airtable worked great for this. Here’s how you can use it:
- Create and configure a process in Plumsail Documents, and design your custom template (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) or use a pre-made one from the template library.
- Install the Plumsail Documents extension in Airtable and configure the extension button.
- Map your Airtable fields to the template by copying tokens from Airtable and putting them into a table row or bullet point. Also, the documents are in familiar Office formats, so you can match the Airtable table design or adjust it as needed.
- Generate your document to include all records from Airtable on one page using the extension button.
Here’s a detailed guide: Plumsail Guide. The images above are taken from this guide. I hope this helps!
