Howdy all, I promise I really have looked at exisitng topics but there is information overload.

 

Ideally I would like ot use ODBC driver to connect to AT to Windows via ODBC driver, I found several but they are all expensive subscriptions.  It seems AT may have its own ODBC driver now??  But I can’t find it anywhere in the AT documentation.

 

What is the best extension or method to use data from multiple tables within a base, fill in essentially form letters WITHOUT using the extensions that you have to put the information boxes on the template.  

 

The data I have for the body of the “letters” is sometimes several pages and I can’t find an extension that doesn’t chop off the rest of the text once it goes beyond the bottom of the information box or window we placed in the page setup.  We are printing the letters to PDF.

 

Any suggestions for something that would act as “mailmerge” or is an annual ODBC sub to CCData or Devart the best way to go??

 

Thanks!!!

I can’t guide you on ODBC, but if you’re looking to create mail merge PDF documents from Airtable, there are dozens of different options.

Here are 3 popular solutions for generating PDF documents from Airtable:

1. DocuMint

2. DocsAutomator

3. Make’s integrations — which can be integrated with any document-creation app of your choosing, even something as simple as Google Docs or Microsoft Word. But also other document generators as well, such as PlumSail or Documentero.

If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one way that you can instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
