Dealing with time and date data in PDFs

By default, PDF Potion operates in the UTC time zone. This can result in cases where time/date data in a PDF does not accurately match the time/date in the user's local timezone.


You can ensure the date/time data in the PDF reflects the user's own local timezone by following these steps:

  1. Install the Time zone ID plugin (it's free) from the Bubble plugin marketplace
  2. Add the Time Zone ID element to the page in your Bubble app that you're generating PDFs from

  1. Reference the Time Zone ID element's exposed state (which is called 'Browser's Time Zone ID') in the 'Time Zone ID' field of the 'Create PDF' action

Any time/data in the PDF generated by PDF Potion will now reflect the user's own time zone.
