Hi @marrikruthi,

You can create a new view on the form called PDF this will contain all the fields like (patient name, doctor name, patient id, date of birth, phone number, email, gender) what ever you need.

Create a UI action as below.

function export2PDF() { 
 var sysparm_table = g_form.getTableName(); 
 var sysparm_sys_id = g_form.getUniqueValue().toString(); 
 var instanceName = 'https://my-instance.service-now.com/';
 var url = instanceName+sysparm_table + '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + sysparm_sys_id + "&sysparm_view=PDF"; 
 g_navigation.openPopup(url);
}

I hope this helps...

hi @marrikruthi 

If you want to create a button for this requirement follow these steps:

Create a new Script Include:

var PDFGenerator = Class.create();
PDFGenerator.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {},

    generatePDF: function(recordSysId) {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('your_table_name'); // Replace 'your_table_name' with the actual table name
        if (gr.get(recordSysId)) {
            var doc = new sn_pdfgenerator.PDFDocument();
            
            // Add specific fields
            doc.addText('Field1: ' + gr.getValue('field1')); // Replace 'field1' with actual field name
            doc.addText('Field2: ' + gr.getValue('field2')); // Replace 'field2' with actual field name
            doc.addText('Field3: ' + gr.getValue('field3')); // Replace 'field3' with actual field name
            
            // Generate PDF
            var pdfBytes = doc.generate();
            
            // Save the PDF as an attachment to the record
            var attachment = new GlideSysAttachment();
            var attachmentSysId = attachment.write('your_table_name', recordSysId, 'Record PDF', 'application/pdf', pdfBytes);
            
            return attachmentSysId;
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    },

    type: 'PDFGenerator'
};

Now create a new UI Action and modify the below code:

// UI Action Script
(function() {
    var recordSysId = g_form.getUniqueValue();
    var pdfGenerator = new PDFGenerator();
    var attachmentSysId = pdfGenerator.generatePDF(recordSysId);
    
    if (attachmentSysId) {
        // Redirect to the attachment to download it
        var url = new GlideURL('sys_attachment.do');
        url.addParam('sys_id', attachmentSysId);
        g_navigation.open(url.getURL(), '_blank');
    } else {
        g_form.addErrorMessage('Failed to generate PDF.');
    }
})();
