Please note the two SLA values (Time to assignment and Time to resolution) and the Customer Request Type value natively appearing among the built-in custom fields. The PDF template is using the same intuitive red-green color coding as the web interface.

Service Management custom fields (in the 3 rightmost columns) are supported also when bulk-exporting tickets from a queue or from a JQL search to a summarizing table.

Configuration

Configuring the Jira Service Management custom fields

There is nothing to do. Better PDF Exporter will automatically recognize the Jira Service Management managed fields and export them accordingly.

Configuring the export format for the Jira Service Management custom fields

There is one configuration variable that affects the output format of the Approvals field. The default behavior is that the overall approval will be exported ("Approved" "Declined", "?"). You can also include the individual approvers' decisions by setting this configuration variable in the top part of the issue-fo.vm and issue-navigator-fo.vm templates: 

## Jira Service Desk
#set($exportServiceDeskApprovalDecisions = false) ## set to "true" to export approver decisions

If you want full control over the export format, look at the Velocity macro definition marked with this comment in the above mentioned templates: 

## Jira Service Desk custom field types
## ...

Note: you can absolutely have different export formats in the different templates, as issue-fo.vm typically has more space for details.

Excluding the internal comments from the PDF exports

By default, both internal and public comments are exported. You can exclude the internal comments from the exports by changing the following configuration variable in the top part of the issue-fo.vm template: 

## Jira Service Desk
#set($exportServiceDeskPublicCommentsOnly = false) ## set to "true" to exclude internal comments from the export
