Supabase PDF Automation
Connect Postgres records, Storage files, Edge Functions, and PrefillPDF into complete document workflows.
Common Supabase workflows
Database record to generated PDF
Read a record, map fields into a template, and save the resulting PDF path or URL.
Storage upload to extraction
Process an uploaded PDF, extract JSON, and write normalized fields into Postgres.
Status-driven document workflow
Generate documents when a record reaches an approved, completed, or ready state.
How the integration works
Create the record or upload
Store structured data in Postgres or receive a PDF in Supabase Storage.
Call PrefillPDF securely
Use a server environment or Edge Function so API credentials remain private.
Save the result
Write extraction fields to Postgres or save the generated PDF to Storage.
Update workflow status
Track processing, completed, and failed states for reliable operations.
Benefits of using PrefillPDF with Supabase
FAQ
Can Supabase Storage hold generated PDFs?
Yes. Your backend can save generated PDF bytes or downloaded files into a Storage bucket.
Can extraction results be stored in JSONB?
Yes. You can store the complete response in JSONB and also map important fields into dedicated columns.
Where should I keep the PrefillPDF API key?
Keep it in secure server environment variables or Supabase secrets, never in browser-exposed code.
