The goal is to provide a WYSIWYG Editor for users to build their own newspaper. The end-goal is to export this as a formatted PDF (containing images) based on the contents on the editor. Searching for a while & see that the Modern Rich Text Editor plugin by Zeroqode may serve this purpose?
Hey @phatngo2161 ,
Thank you for contacting us.
The Modern Rich Text Editor plugin by Zeroqode is a great choice for providing a WYSIWYG editor for users to build their own newspaper. However, when it comes to exporting the contents as a PDF, it’s important to note that images may not appear in the generated PDF if they were added in the editor as links (i.e., external image URLs) rather than being embedded properly. To ensure images are included in the PDF, they need to be correctly processed, either as embedded images or by ensuring that the export process properly handles external resources.
If you’re looking for an easier and simpler setup for generating PDFs from the content in your editor, I’d suggest using the Bubble Page to PDF Converter Plugin. This plugin is straightforward to use and set up, and it can handle basic PDF exports well. However, if your generation needs are more complex or you require greater customization, you might want to consider the PDF Conjurer PRO Plugin, which is more feature-rich but can be harder to work with due to its complexity.
If you’re on a paid plan, I recommend subscribing to the plugin for a short period (1-2 days) to test if it works for your needs. When you subscribe, you only pay for the actual number of days you use the plugin, which gets prorated and added to your monthly bill (or yearly if you’re on a yearly plan). So, if the plugin doesn’t meet your requirements within those first few days, you can easily uninstall it without incurring much cost.

HI @AntonZ - thanks for the reply. We got the editor component figured out - now we have to deal more with the PDF generation. I left this question here on the Bubble forum for the Bubble Page to PDF Converter Plugin. Feel free to answer on either platforms. Also, now knowing that our input for PDF Generation will need to be HTML, would you recommend PDF Conjurer or Bubble Page to PDF Converter plugin? Thanks!
We’re using a WYSIWYG editor which spits out HTML - I was wondering that:
- If the HTML Element contained image tags (image sourc = stored on Bubble databse), would the PDF generated from this plugin also contain those images?
- Is there an action that grabs the URL of the generated PDF (f we tick the save PDF to Bubble S3 option) in the next workflow?
- How would pagination work? If I assign an ID to the HTML element, and generate a PDF from that HTML element, how would that be paginated? Or will all contents be nested in one page?
Please let me know if you need clarification on any questions! Thanks
