Bubble
Official Carbone plugin to generate PDF and documents in your Bubble app
Generate PDF and documents in your Bubble.io app
The official Carbone plugin adds a no-code PDF generator to Bubble.io. Drop the Carbone action into any workflow, pass it your app's data, and return a finished document your users can download. You design the template in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint — Carbone merges the data and renders the file.
Why Bubble builders choose Carbone to generate documents:
- A native plugin action. Add Carbone to a Bubble workflow, send your app's data, and get back a PDF or Office file — no server-side code.
- Design templates in Office, not in the Bubble editor. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Docs. Update a layout without redeploying your app.
- PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV and 100+ formats. Real, editable files — not an HTML-to-image screenshot.
- Live preview in Carbone Studio before you wire the action into your app.
- Charts, images, barcodes, tables, conditional sections, e-signatures, and e-invoices compliant with Factur-X and ZUGFeRD.
What you can generate from your Bubble data
Let users generate their own documents on demand, straight from your Bubble database.
- Invoices and receipts: Generate a branded PDF invoice when a user completes a purchase, with conditional VAT rows and computed totals.
- Reports and exports: Turn records and dashboards into PDF or XLSX reports your users download on demand.
- Contracts and agreements: Merge user input into a Word contract template, ready to sign.
- Certificates and tickets: Issue certificates, badges, or event tickets with barcodes, one per user.
- Quotes and proposals: Assemble a personalized PDF or PPTX from your app's data.
A real document engine, not an HTML-to-PDF workaround
Most Bubble apps generate PDFs by screenshotting a page or converting HTML, which breaks on page breaks, can't produce editable DOCX or XLSX, and forces the layout to live inside your app.
The Carbone plugin renders from a real Office template instead. You get proper multi-page pagination, dynamic tables and charts, and output to PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, and images — all from one JSON payload sent by your Bubble workflow. The template lives in Word or Excel, so the person who owns the document can edit it without touching Bubble.
