Radgrid export to pdf problem

[Chuck]

Hi, I am pretty new to using the Telerik controls and am trying to clean up some pre-existing code. It seems pretty straightforward as I am just exporting a grid to pdf. The issue I am having is that I can load the page, not resize any columns, click the export to pdf button and my grid formats and looks fantastic. if i resize ANY of the columns though, not all my columns show up. This even happens if i resize and make my columns smaller. Help?
