DLA PDF Export
Last updated: April 23, 2026
When a member submits a loan application through the Digital Loan Application (DLA), a PDF snapshot of the application is automatically generated and added to the documents table within the application on Glide. Depending on your credit union's configuration, additional PDFs may be generated as the application progresses through key events post-submission.
When a PDF Is Generated
A PDF is generated at the following points:
On submission — immediately after the member completes and submits their application.
After application details are edited — if your credit union has post-submission editing enabled (e.g., applicants can edit loan details after the application has been submitted), a new PDF is generated reflecting those changes.
Each generation event produces a separate, timestamped PDF, so you always have a record of what the application looked like at each stage.
File Naming
PDFs follow this naming format:
Loan Application Export - {App ID} ({Date} {Time} z).pdf
Example:
Loan Application Export - 123456 (Apr 01, 2026 6_39 PM z).pdf
A few things to note:
The timestamp reflects when the PDF was generated, in UTC (indicated by the trailing
z).Colons in the time are replaced with underscores for file system compatibility.
Each export is uniquely identifiable by App ID and timestamp, so multiple exports for the same application will not overwrite each other.
PDF Structure and Supported Fields
The PDF is organized into clearly labeled sections. Sections that do not apply (e.g., no co-borrower, no ancillary products) display "None" rather than being omitted entirely.

Notes
All timestamps in the PDF are in UTC.
SSNs are displayed in full within the export. Ensure access to these documents is restricted appropriately.
The PDF reflects the state of the application at the time it was generated. If post-submission edits are made and a new PDF is triggered, the updated PDF will reflect the edited values — the original submission PDF is preserved separately.
