### Instructions

If your users are creating large PDFs that take some time to create, you may wish to display a loading screen.

You can show an element directly after the 'Generate a PDF Creator' action is run. In this example, I'm using a floating group as a loading screen:

<figure><img src="/files/m59PJAZuG5g9X8Z2ODPr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can then use the 'When PDF Creator downloaded' action to hide the loading screen when the PDF has been successfully downloaded:

<figure><img src="/files/rOAhsfnSU7dXvLSXSZhj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can also hide the loading screen (which is FloatingGroup A in this example) using the 'When PDF Creator is saved to database' action.
