I have produced my App - and am seeking to export the current contents of my ISSUES table as a PDF file. I have got this far:
BEHAVIOURS > ACTIONS > (new action) EXPORT ISSUES.
I am presented with only one export option: Export this View as CSV file - (i.e. to MS Excel) which is working.
Is there a way I can export this view as PDF file to a fixed updatable file location so that the latest export is always the current contents of my ISSUES Table ?
Both these options will produce a PDF file given a suitable template, and will offer you the posibility of creating a base template that will have all your table columns listed, you can use that to get started, for more information you can check these links:

The “fixed updatable file location” could be a FILE type column linked to your data source that’s gonna host the file, often a google drive in the “attachments” folder, that way your users can click that column and that’s gonna open a new browser tab that’s gonna show the pdf.
In addition @rjtroy here is a link explaining step by step how to do so:

Hi @John_Paul_Armisa What you want to achieve is pretty similar to what is described in this post: You have to keep in mind that the link you want to provide is a relative path from your default folder path. With Automation, I reproduced it this way (other similar options exist, this is ONE option). The purpose here is to create a quote, store it in a team drive and giving access to user then. To do so, I make an action, visible to users, to write “filename” in quoteFile column. Then, the…
