I have scheduled an report with the type pivot, the report triggered as PDF. Is there a way for use to extract the data from the report. If there are any possibilities please let me know.

 

Thanks

Hi @Sagar Rd 

 

If the report has been generated is not possible extract data or insert data in the document by SN OOB. 

You need to use an external API. I consider PDF.co

why you want ServiceNow to extract the PDF data?

You already are sending the PDF report to user, let them read the data
