How to get the PDF view of a workflow?

[Gowtham3]

Hi,

I want to get the PDF file of a workflow. Is there a way to extract it from the workflow editor or with any external tool or plugin integration into ServiceNOW?

Thanks,

Gowtham

Hi Gowtham,

there is no OOTB way to extract a published workflow in PDF, however you can use a workaround, capture the published workflow in a printscreen, then create copy the printscreen in a DOC file and then export to PDF.

This is the easiest manual way, just tried in my personal instance, see the result in attachment.

Hope this can help you.

If I have answered your question, please mark my response as correct and/or helpful.

Thank you very much

Cheers
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Our workflows are very huge which we can't take the screenshot and copy that into a doc. So, can is there any alternate way apart from taking the screenshot?

Thanks,

Hi,

There no OOB functionality for this,You can try below options

1. There are multiple chrome extensions to capture the full page with auto scroll capabilities. I have tried fireshot and fullscreen capture in past

2. You can also use SnagIt by TechSmith which has scrolling capability when capturing screenshots. http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html - a free 30 day trial version is available online.

3. Try to reduce the scale % when printing. Control P - Select 'Print Using System Dialog, Select Landscape and set Scale to 60% (or Adjust according to size of workflow.)

mark correct/helpful based on impact.

Thanks,

Dhananjay.

HI Dhananjay,

I tried using that plugin to capture the published workflow, But the screenshot is not completely clear as our workflows are completely very big

Is there any alternative apart from installing the plugin?

Thanks,
