Generate landscape PDF reports using "PDF Web Service"

[A Elbarbary]

Hi Community,

There is a simple OOTB way for generating PDF reports.

According to this URL, We can generate the report simply by adding the parameter 'PDF' to the URL query string, for example:

<SNOW_URL>/sc_req_item_list.do?PDF

The problem is that there are around 20 columns in my custom list view and I can't delete any, is there a way to generate the PDF as landscape instead of portrait so that there is enough width to fit every thing rather than having very narrow columns and wrapped text as per the below image?

Hi   Abd El-Rhman El-Barbary

You can generate the PDF For any record by extending the URL with PDF   like <your-instance/incident_list.do?PDF&sys_id but you cannot change the orientation of it.

HI Shubh,

Can you help on generating customized PDF in landscape. I tried many ways by doing modifications in GeneralPDF script include but noting worked for me.

Thank you in advance

Hi Shubh, 

I am able to generate the PDF but it gives me a blank PDF with empty fields.

https://<domainURL>.service-now.com/sc_req_item.do?PDF&sys_id=<sysId>&sysparm_query=number=RITM123123

Could you suggest me if my parameters are okay if i need to add anything?

Appreciate your help,

Thanks,

Sujith.
