How to export Requested Item to PDF (including Variable Editor) without preview or print view?

[lidorz]

Hi all,

I've already created a UI Action button that opens the Requested Item form in print view using this URL:

/sc_req_item.do?sys_id=xxx&sysparm_media=print

This works well and shows the Variable Editor, but it requires the user to manually click "Print" and then save as PDF.

My requirement is to automatically export the RITM to PDF, including all catalog variables (from the Variable Editor) — but without showing a preview or relying on the browser print dialog.

Is there a way to:

• Export the full Requested Item to PDF,

• Include the Variable Editor,

• Without requiring user interaction (print/save)?

Any workaround or best practice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
