YXMD Canvas Extract to PDF?

Hello - I was curious if there's a way to extract the Canvas of a XYMD Workflow into an Adobe PDF Format? Essentially, I'm looking for the ability to visualize the layout of the Workflow outside of Alteryx, in order to communicate with Non-Alteryx Users on how the Workflow looks/works. Would be similar to how it looks in Alteryx (except not being able to run the Workflow).

If there's a way to extract screenshots of the Results panes too, that would be a bonus so I wouldn't have to do them manually :-)

Thank you in advance!

I think I figured it out. There's a Print option within Alteryx to export to PDF. It takes a little tinkering and I still can't get it all onto one "page", but at least non-Alteryx viewers can zoom in and examine it.

Try a tool like UiPath.

Or some other automation tool that can capture screen shots.

I'd prefer, if possible, if I could get it all in one extract (similar to a ledger-sized placemat)...

Alteryx doesn't have a tool to capture screenshots, or images of a workflow.

Not sure if you could accomplish that with a Powershell script. You'd need to open the workflow, Zoom to show the entire flow, then screenshot. Alteryx doesn't have any GUI automation to accomplish the Zoom step.
