Sounds like your requirement is to be able to show exactly how the user interface with the case data looked like at the moment the user made his decision.
In the case the retention period is short enough (so that you don't need to keep process instances alive and in the process database for a very long time) you could add a final activity to the workflow that makes it possible to view the coach with its data read-only. To make sure the coach looks the same, you could create all of it as a coach view and use the coach view in both coaches.
As an alternative, a screen shot would probably do it. There is no such feature in the product so you would have to investigate if there is a service or a class library that does this. And then some custom java script to make use of it. E.g. if you have a "Submit" button in your coach, you could use some java script in the button's On click event to call the service/code that captures the screen/window image and saves it to a content store, and finally use e.g. a navigation event to complete the task.

Thanks for the responses.
With suggested approach, concern is there will considerable effort to make the PDF layout consistent with user (coach) interface especially for 50+ workflows. May be there is some out of the box feature already available as most customers will need to retain approval data required for audits.
Is it feasible and not against best practices, to leave approved workflows at a step with user interface (coach) includes all data so users (and auditors) can do view only. Have a backend process to automatically delete workflows after the retention period.

Hello,
New to IBM BPM.
Upon completion of final step of a workflow, is it possible to add a system step to generate a PDF out of a coach view (with data including approval history) and archive the PDF, attachments to a document repository for future reference.
Thanks
Srini
