Is there any way to export processes models to an image (JPG, JPEG, PNG, etc) or pdf file?

For default configurations, there is an image generated when the process is deployed. You can fetch this from the database or pull it out programmatically:

Convert XML to jpg

If the process was deployed to the engine, there is an image resource already present in the system. The following code will get the latest version of “lamdaProcess” and write it to a file called “processImage.png”: ProcessDefinition process = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().processDefinitionKey("lamdaProcess").latestVersion().singleResult(); InputStream stream = repositoryService.getResourceAsStream(process.getDeploymentId(), process.getDiagramResourceName()); File targetFil…

Hi @wwitt,
I tried this and got it basically working. Unfortunatelly data objects are not rendered in the final png. Do you know why this is?

what I did: model a simple bpmn process and add some data objects to the tasks. Then I generated the image with the method you suggested.
As you can see in the picture there is only a dotted line where a data object should be. Other data objects with a data association are completely lost including the association line.

Greetings
