Hello @cnough ,

I do not understand the use case, but it's pretty simple to create a pdf if you have the data and a record to attach it to.

See the below script:

var html = '';

var v = new sn_pdfgeneratorutils.PDFGenerationAPI;
var gr = new GlideRecord("kb_knowledge"); //attaching to a kb record for demo purpose
if (gr.get('c85cd2519f77230088aebde8132e70c2')) { //this is a kb record sysid, the attachment will attach here
 html = gr.text.toString();
} 

var result = v.convertToPDF(html, "kb_knowledge", "c85cd2519f77230088aebde8132e70c2", "myPDF");

Hi AnirudhKumar

The above code fetches the content from the kb_knowledge table and then exports, its similar to how export works from form. But is there a way just click a button on the portal and the contents of the widget exports to a PDF with the color styling etc? I want this to export the knowledge article from Portal.
