Export to PDF UI Action

[abhijats]

Hi Everyone,

Can you please tell me how to create a UI Action(Export to PDF) on ESS Portal for exporting the form(UI Page) in PDF Format, Actually we have to give functionality to user to extract the form from ESS Portal related to certain category and then use it in PDF Format.

Hello Jonathan,

I want to know will the PDF get saved some where?

Can I change some of the format on that PDF?

Thanks,

Uma

Uma,

I didn't really need any special format for the PDF, just a way to export and link to the current record.   We did get that done with the following script.

It works very well.

Thank you!

Brian

var rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
rm.setHttpMethod('GET');
var url = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") + current.getTableName()+ '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
rm.setEndpoint(url);
rm.setBasicAuth(gs.getProperty('App_Serviceaccount'), gs.getProperty('App_Serviceaccount_pwd'));
rm.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(current.getTableName(),current.sys_id,current.u_cpen_number+".pdf");


var response = rm.execute();
if(response.getStatusCode()==200) {
   gs.addInfoMessage('Attachment added, sending to distribution.');
   action.setRedirectURL(current);

Hi Brian,

I need something like few records with custom formatted UI. Do you have any Idea to do this?

Try this Venkata Chandra Mohan Reddy Yaparla

HR PDF document templates

It is a new feature as of Helsinki that gives us the ability to create custom PDF files.

Good luck!
