### Instructions

* When generating PDFs with the 'Generate PDF Creator' workflow action, set the 'Save to Database' field to 'yes'
* This will result in the PDFs generated being saved to the 'File Manager' section of your Bubble database
* However, if you want your users to be able to access the PDFs, it is recommended you:
  * Create a data type called 'Saved PDFs' (or something similar)
  * Add a field to the 'Saved PDF' data type called 'PDF URL Link' (text type)

* Use the 'When PDF Creator is saved to database' event to create a new 'saved PDF' entry and set the 'PDF URL Link' to be equal to PDF Creator's url

You'll then be able to access PDFs saved down in your database via their saved URL.
