Generate PDF from UI action

Sample code : 

You can use the below code in your UI action to generate a PDF.

function generatePDF(){
var sysparm_table = g_form.getTableName();
var sysparm_sys_id = g_form.getUniqueValue().toString();
var link='https://dev113064.service-now.com/'; // Replace with  sys_parm to get the instace name 
var url = link+sysparm_table + '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + sysparm_sys_id;
g_navigation.openPopup(url);
}

Note:

1. Recommend to use sys_property to build the url.

2. You can use page_view  in URL  for a specfic view of fields using sysparm_view.

Hi @Sohail Khilji ,

I attempted using my PDI URL from the URL section as demonstrated, but haven't had any success so far. Could you help me in elaborating your recommendation "Recommend to use sys_property to build the url" please?

Thank you!
