Has anyone customized their pdf exports?

Such as like a custom header?

I'm trying to find a good example or something to point me in the right direction. I've been going through UI Actions and the default UI Context menu to go off of but I can't seem to find some of the functions used in it.

Hi Joshua,

You won't be able to get to see the code behind the GwtPollDialog so you can go the above approach.

Also one thing you can do is in the script of UI action for form button add this script

this works for form view

var url = '/u_sample_table.do?PDF&sys_id=' + g_form.getUniqueValue() + '&sysparm_view=default' ;

window.open(url,'_blank');

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

by using UI action script, PDF downloaded, as well can we add LOGO on top of PDF.

function createPDFESS() {

 var sysparm_table = g_form.getTableName();

 var sysparm_sys_id = g_form.getUniqueValue().toString();

 var url = sysparm_table + '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + sysparm_sys_id;

 window.open(url);

 }

I am wondering if ServiceNow has updated this at all since the question was asked 5 years ago?

I want to change the ugly project form that is exported as a PDF as well.

Can't believe ServiceNow is so ugly and difficult to do things.
