Hi. When you donwnload a file in Make using any module to this, the file is stored in the Make buffer. So you cannot get the file to download to your computer. You can only map the file to be used to send to another module. You have no file access only the buffer reference for it.

so there is no possibility of creating a pdf file on the fly with the cms data (using make integromat) and displaying it into the browser…

You can create a PDF file on the fly using various PDF apps or Google Drive etc. and get the link of that file on your email and other communication services to work with it.

i found this solution to prepare product data sheets from a cms collection

i use make (integromat) to get the data from the CMS (technical data) then i insert them in a template (google docs) then i download from google docs the pdf file finally i update the CMS by inserting the url of the pdf.

then in the collection page insert a link (button, link, etc) pointing to the url inserted in the CMS

the scenario can be activated every time a new product is added to the collection or is updated or deleted
