If you set the Timestamp option as OFF, you can create the file name and folder path by your self from the Workflow’s definition. When the timestamp is OFF you know where that file is and the exact file name. Then you can create a link for that file with the app formula.

Hi Hugo, follow these instructions:

1- Create a workflow for saving a .PDF file, and enable the “Disble Timestamp” option

2- Fill in the file name prefix with a unique information from your table, (in my case I used the primary key)

3- In your spreadsheet, create a column (name file) to receive the file you download. But don’t forget to leave this column read only

4- identify in your google drive where is the generated pdf and in the file column fill in the INITIAL VALUE with the formula:

concatenate (“file path”, [id_key], “. pdf”)

5- after filling in your data you can download it in pdf
