I figured out how to create a PDF template in Notepad using Object Set data for individual objects — works perfectly.
But here’s the catch:
How can we generate PDFs for all objects in an Object Set at once, without using code?
The Notepad UI only supports one object at a time. Looking for a no-code or UI-based solution (maybe via Ontology actions or batch export) that can generate all PDFs automatically.
Hi @AryanThadani022!
Unfortunately, there currently is no built-in way to generate many PDFs at once from the UI. Thanks for raising, we are tracking it as a feature request internally!
In the meantime, you can try generating one large PDF at once for all your objects at once and splitting the PDF afterwards. You should be able to do this by passing in an Object Set as template input and using the Section Generator widget to create separate sections for each object, adding page breaks between them. You could then use a PDF tool to split the combined PDF into individual files for each object.
Let me know if you have other questions,

Hi Rahma,
Thanks for the response! The workaround makes sense, but we need to generate PDFs for 500+ objects. The Section Generator widget only supports around 30 objects at a time, so that approach doesn’t quite scale for our use case.
Is there any way to handle this through code or an API, so we can generate PDFs for all objects automatically?

Hi @AryanThadani022 you can use Automate to run on all objects of any given set and get them into your inbox. It’s a bit annoying but beats running it manually. Here’s how you can configure the notification effect to do this. Add your Notepad template where I have Monthly Report Template at the bottom
Hi Aryan,
You can request your admin to increase your section generator limit from the Notepad settings in the Control Panel. This allows the limit to be configured up to 1000!
Currently, we do not have public APIs available for programmatically exporting Notepads to PDF.
