[Deepthi25]

Hi Team,

I am trying to generate home page in PDF.

I am getting PDF in to email but I am facing page break issue as shown in below fig.. Please suggest how to over come this. And also i used script include to generate this PDF, please find my script include code as below.

 Script include code:

var DashboardScheduler = Class.create();
DashboardScheduler.prototype = {
ENDPOINT : 'sys_confirm_whtp.do',
REPORT : '/home.do?sysparm_userpref_homepage=dd20946edbe463801d398edf4b961905',

}
},
isValidPage: function(report) {
var page = new GlideRecord('sys_portal_page');
page.addEncodedQuery('sys_class_name=sys_portal_page^view=' + report);
page.query();

return true;
}
return false;

Hi radhi's,

there are 3 typos in JSON parameters:

JSON.stringify({"dataDocType":true,"orientation":this.ORIENTATION,"papersize":this.PAPERSIZE,"smartShrink":this.SMART_SHRINK,"avoidPageBreakInside":this.AVOID_PAGE_BREAK,"zoomFactor": this.ZOOM_FACTOR});

Correct parameters list:

{"dataDoctype":true,"paperSize":"Letter","zoomFactor":"100","orientation":"landscape","smartShrink":true,"avoidPageBreakInside":true}

Hi Radhi, 

If i am not wrong then instead of page break the main issue is that graphs are being broken into 2 pages which is distorting the report view as page properties of A3/A4 will be still same. Could you please Webkit HTML to PDF plugin is activated? 

Thanks!!

Hi,

How can you export Dashboard to pdf with your include script? I try your code with $pa_dashboard.do, but it return a empty file (Don't have any data write in there). Can you help me?

Thanks!!

My source code:

    ENDPOINT: 'sys_confirm_whtp.do',

    REPORT: '/$pa_dashboard.do?sysparm_dashboard=39785ea31b31301081dd7596cc4bcb9c',

    RECIPIENTS: 'trinhdinhhuy0210@gmail.com',
    G_CK: '',

    initialize: function() {
        this.G_CK = gs.getSession();
    },
    getEndpoint: function() {
        return "https://" + gs.getProperty('instance_name') + ".service-now.com/" + this.ENDPOINT;
    },

    encodeBody: function() {

        var query = JSON.stringify({

            "dataDoctype":true,

            "paperSize":"Letter",

            "zoomFactor":"100",

            "orientation":"landscape",

            "smartShrink":true,

            "avoidPageBreakInside":true
        });

        var total = "sysparm_target=" + this.REPORT + "&email=" + this.RECIPIENTS + "&sysparm_query=" + query;

        var encode = encodeURI(total);
        return encode;
    },

    makeRequest: function() {

        var message = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

        message.setEndpoint(this.getEndpoint());
        message.setHttpMethod('post');

        message.setBasicAuth('huytd', 'huy@123');

        message.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
        message.setRequestBody(this.encodeBody());
        var response = message.execute();

        return response.getStatusCode();
    },
