@Cacoreasa you can use [https://eledo.online/](https://eledo.online/) And do an api call to generate a pdf for you. The returned pdf url can be stored in Adalo for use. ---

@Cacoreasa it should be easy to integrate, let me know if you need help once you create an account and try it out but stuck at any point. Basically what you need to do is: 1. Send the data you want in PDF from Adalo to the Eledo API 2. Eledo will generate the document and provide you an ID of the document generated with few other details 3. you need to use that data and have a link in the screen where you want to show and let use click to download. hope that sequence helps. You can actually check this thread as well, @Victor has good suggestions here: > [@Anyone found a work path for PDF generation?](https://forum.adalo.com/t/anyone-found-a-work-path-for-pdf-generation/8214/14): > > Hi @tkasenberg , The setup flow somehow reminds me of the ping-pong slight_smile You create a webhook in Integromat. It listens for data You go to Adalo and create Custom action. Fill in all the params, then run Test Custom action. You go to Integromat and see if it has determined the data structure You continue setup in Integromat. If you need to return some data to Adalo: You finish setup in Integromat, with data return You go back to Adalo, and edit the custom action, and run Test again … ---

Hi @Cacoreasa @bhanu, Just couple of notes from my side 🙂 - seems that you should use “CreateFile” instead of Generate ([Create File | eledo.online](https://eledo.online/documentation/api_reference/create_file)) and then use a link to download. As I see, other API endpoints (Generate and Download) couldn’t be used with Adalo custom actions as they return application/pdf (at least it didn’t work for me); - I didn’t find any evidence for how long the generated document will be stored on Eledo’s servers and will be available for download. I assume that they might have some limit for that. Also they state that “we don’t store any pdfs on our servers”, which is kind of confusing. So better to check directly with them; - if you need more advanced actions to work with the resulting PDF, like sending it by email, or storing the file on Google Drive, or something else, I’d recommend using Integromat instead of custom actions. Best, Victor ---
