printing / export & mail as pdf wanted

I am just trying out Ragic,
for a while and some functions are very good.

Although it seems there is only these “printer friendly” printing.
(and mailmerge). Is there a way to send pdf’s as email attachment with an Action button or download them in an easier flow,
that would be a big step forward.

And In a more nice way, also with some header and footer, which is not shown at the form stage?
And formatting always the same, e.g. in the “Reports” i see formatting of e.g. cell length could be different for the same form. And this looks ugly then.

Hi,

We’ve received several requests regarding mail merge to PDF or download as a PDF file. As the function is still under discussion, I’ll add you to the notify list once the feature release. :slight_smile:

Dear Angie,

thank you for your answer, but how long are you already discussing?

Is there are roadmap availible for Ragic?
(maybe with currently in discussing & planned features/changes)

Thx

Admittedly export as PDF has been on our roadmap for quite a while. We have been getting occasional requests for this for a long time, but because our developers haven’t been able to find a suitable way to implement this. It will speed up quite a bit once we find a suitable way to implement HTML+CSS to PDF conversion, but right now we’re a little stuck on finding a proper solution.

As for the roadmap, we’re hoping to use this feature request discussion as a way to gather feedback and enable our users to understand Ragic roadmap a bit better.

I read your reply, took notes, and forgot to reply. I will definitely look into this suggestion and see if we can implement it using this method.

Also interested.
Any timespan this could become available?

In past, I have used the following for html to pdf conversion which worked for us.

Hi just wondering if there is any update on this feature request?

I am also interested in this feature and it would make a big difference to my workflow. Is there any plans to implement this soon?

Jeff could this https://pdfcrowd.com/#convert_by_url work of called from inside Ragic using API calls?

Could we send something like an embedded URL with an API key? We could then print reports to PDF also.

Thanks

We could really use this feature. Any updates?

Any chance of this feature happening? It would be amazing!

Just wondering what’s the progress on this feature?

Hi,

Here’s the good news!

The new feature similar to mail merge, as mentioned before, is now live! It’s called Custom Print Reports. To access it, go to the form page under any sheet, and select Tools > Export > Custom Print Reports.


Custom Print Reports supports some long-waited export options, such as PDF export and Word files with subtable outputs.
The setup for Custom Print Reports is similar to the mail merge function. You can design the report template for export with parameter settings and custom layouts. However, we are using a new third-party tool, so the parameter syntax is slightly different from that used in mail merge. So we’ve enhanced the user interface for easier customization, as shown in the blue box below:

  • Note: Subtables now require two lines of parameters.
  • Scroll down for a complete preview and parameter syntax.

    The user guide is in the work. We are also planning to expand the export capabilities of Custom Print Reports. For now, feel free to try out the new feature directly and share any feedback with us. Thank you.

Finally! Will try it out. Just had a quick look, it is awesome that i can create multiple report templates, is there a way to show/hide these action buttons based on condition formatting?

I’ve been testing out this function. Apart for the known limitations, I noticed that the image is still buggy. If the image was taken in portrait, it is inserted into the pdf as landscape. Anyway to remedy this?

Hi,

Could you please submit a support ticket and provide Ragic support with the necessary information so we can investigate further?
