Convert HTML Code to PDF renders HTML stored in Airtable and saves a PDF attachment for each processed record. Use it when document layout needs more flexibility than a simple text-only PDF.
What you can do
- Use a text or formula field containing the final HTML.
- Render HTML and CSS into an A4 PDF with backgrounds.
- Choose portrait or landscape orientation and a destination attachment field.
Use cases and examples
A team can build a branded confirmation document with headings, tables, links, and images. An Airtable formula combines the HTML with record values before the automation renders it into a PDF.
- Receipts and invoices: Generate PDF copies of receipts or invoices from record-specific HTML. For standard documents with line items, quantities, prices, and totals, the Invoice Generator automation may be a better fit: it can create invoices and receipts without requiring you to build the HTML layout.
- Reports and resumes: Use HTML templates populated with Airtable data to prepare formatted reports or resumes for sharing.
How to get started
Prepare a sample HTML field and choose the input and output fields. Set the orientation, run a representative record, and inspect the PDF’s page breaks, images, and text before processing more records.
Good to know
HTML and CSS are supported, but script-generated content is not. Referenced images and other assets must be accessible.
