Hello!
Is it possible to make this scenario with pdf.co to work faster? For example it takes between 30 second to 1 minute to generate de pdf. It is to slow, I want it to be transferred in glide in 2-3 second maximum
Thanks

No, that is dependent on the speed of response from the external service.
The only workaround is to find an alternate service that does it faster.

Hello Andreea_Nisipeanu,
We understand the importance of speed and efficiency in generating PDFs. While the processing time may vary depending on various factors such as the complexity of the document and the size of the input data, we continuously strive to optimize our services for faster performance.
To improve the speed of PDF generation with PDF.co, you can implement an asynchronous processing. By using this approach, the PDF generation can occur in the background while you can continue interacting with the application. This allows for a reduction in processing time, enabling a faster overall experience.
Below, we have included a sample guide and screenshot that demonstrate how to utilize asynchronous processing for PDF generation
- Set the Execution mode to Async for Large Docs.
- Next, use a job/check endpoint to check the status of the process and retrieve the output while you can proceed with other tasks.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let us know.

Async wouldn’t work in this case, because @Andreea_Nisipeanu 's scenario wants the result back as fast as possible to continue working with it.
There is no need for “interacting with the application” because it runs on Make’s servers and there is no user interaction with the application while the scenario is executing.

Yes. That is correct! I need the pdfs because after they come back to glide I need them to be downloaded and printed. And sometimes I may have 100 documents in a day and the process would take to much
Thanks
