The PDF trigger can now use a live page as its source. Instead of maintaining a separate PDF template, design your report visually in the Live Page Builder and have the PDF trigger render that page to a PDF — dynamic, flexible reports built from the same blocks you already use for live pages.

​
How It Works

1

Design the report as a live page

Build the report layout in the Live Page Builder, interpolating entity, trigger, and variable data into your blocks.
2

Add a PDF trigger

Add a PDF trigger to your flow and select Live page as the source, pointing it at the page you built.
3

Generate

When the trigger runs, the page is rendered to PDF with the current user’s data and returned like any other PDF output.
Live pages are rendered in a dedicated print mode when producing a PDF, so reports paginate cleanly:
  • Auto-expanded accordions — collapsible blocks are expanded so their content appears in the PDF
  • Smart page breaks — blocks avoid breaking awkwardly across pages

​
Why Build PDFs This Way

  • One source of truth — design the on-screen page and its PDF from the same blocks
  • Fully dynamic — reports reflect each user’s entity, trigger, and variable data
  • No separate template — skip maintaining a parallel PDF layout
Rendering is scoped to the specific page and user for each run, so a generated PDF reflects exactly the page and data it was created for.
