Hello abhishekmittal ,

What exactly you want to do?

You can export to PDF from service now then use another 3rd party tool to convert it to any other format. From ServiceNow perspective you can export to the following formats:

Export Format	Description
CSV	Export table records as a comma-separated value text file. Use this option to export the currently displayed fields in the list or form as a text file. Configure the list or form to add or remove fields from the export. When exported to CSV, dot-walked fields appear using their full field name, such as u_assignment_group.parent. Note: By default, ServiceNow exports all CSV files in Windows-1252 encoding. If you need to export translated data, set the glide.export.csv.charsetsystem property to UTF-8 (starting with Calgary release).
Excel	Export table records as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Use this option to export the currently displayed fields in the list or form as an Excel spreadsheet. Configure the list or form to add or remove fields from the export.
XML	Export table records as an XML document. Use this option to export all data from a table or all data for a particular record. The XML file has an XML element for each column in the table.
PDF	Export table records as a Portable Document Format file. Use this option to export the currently displayed fields in the list or form as a PDF file. Configure the list or form to add or remove fields from the export.

Hi Dravvy,

Thanks for response.

I have to extract a pdf file and search for some specific text in this and need to update the value of a table in SNOW from that string value.

Thanks and regards,

Abhishek
