For anyone still looking for this functionality: we developed Docuimport specifically to address this limitation in ServiceNow. It allows you to import PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly as Knowledge Base articles with editable, structured content, not just as attachments.

 

The tool extracts text, preserves formatting, and creates proper KB articles that you can edit and manage like any native ServiceNow article.

 

Here's a quick demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/wcgr0hPn0X8

 

Hope this helps!
