How to generate a .pdf output, with a pre-defined look and feel?

[JV2]

Our client is asking for generating a pdf, with a pre-defined look and feel.

For example, if we have a form like the one attached here (this is just an example, randomly taken form internet), we could generate a form in ServiceNow to capture that information and apply any flow to it. Now, when it comes to printing that form from ServiceNow, the client wants to generate the exact look and feel as the original form. Has anyone faced this kind of requests? Please advise.

Thanks for your response. Yes, it's not a straight forward requirement and there's tons of unclear suggestion on the community and around internet. I'm looking for ideas from people who has already run a requirement like this one.

Hello,

You can create a fillable PDF using any number of programs. And with that, you can build a form in ServiceNow that upon submission, etc. can fill that PDF in for you on their behalf and then it'll be available as an attachment they can download or email, etc.

Otherwise, ServiceNow, I don't believe, generates a PDF form for you based off of a form and gives it a look and feel, unfortunately. It would merely give you the data in a pretty generic format.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!
