Store generated PDF files in Data Tables

Hey guys, I’m new to Anvil, and I had a question about PDFs.

If I generate a PDF using a background task, and email that PDF to someone; is there any way that allows me store that PDF file in the file column of a data table, and simultaneously email it to someone?

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, once you generate the PDF you can do whatever you want with it, including storing and emailing it.

Follow up question: Is it possible to create a PDF using a variable number of RepeatingPanels? If so, do you have any links from where I can learn to do so?

If you can see it on the browser, you can render it to pdf.

You also chain multiple forms into a multi page pdf. Here is a simple example.
