    If you can somehow make a copy of the Process Diagram view from the Dashboards toolkit, drop it into a coach view, and add the following custom HTML button that will print to pdf on click, the user could manually print to pdf.

    Custom HTML button:
    <a class="btn btn-primary hidden-print" href="javascript:window.print()"><i class="fa fa-print"></i> Print</a>

    I really don't know how to make a copy of the flowchart view from the Dashboards toolkit into the Coach view.
    However, the printing method you provide is also very useful.

    Hi Ding,

    There is REST API (Process Documentation API -> Process Visual Model) to see the visual model of a process, you need to pass the required parameters and append &image=true at the end of the URL. When you want to implement this in a CSHS, just take a Custom HTML block and wrap that URL with an img tag.
    Like - 
    <img src='https://localhost:9443/rest/bpm/wle/v1/visual/processModel/25.c904b3b1-afc1-4698-bf5a-a20892c20275?snapshotId=2064.481abfd8-9868-4638-ace0-7932d46958d5&branchId=2063.1a52abd6-b068-4f9e-91a9-ded9793eb34e&projectId=066.1052c1c9-0b2c-42d3-a2bd-cd73e6c89f9b&image=true'></img>​

    Add the Export to PDF control from BAW UI Tools - Atanu Roy
    You are ready to export the process diagram as PDF.

    Thank you very much for your help. The problem has been solved.
    The only regret is that the quality of the exported pictures is not high.
