[Solved] Child Grid Records are Cut Off During PDF Export in Kendo UI for Angular

[Mark]

Hi,

We are using a parent-child grid structure in Kendo UI for Angular. In the application UI, all child records are displayed correctly. For example, under the OB building, the child grid shows all room records as expected.

However, when exporting the grid to PDF using Kendo PDF Export, the child grid content for the OB building is cut off and some room records are missing from the generated PDF.

Current Behavior

• All child records are visible in the UI.
• During PDF export, the child grid content under the OB building is truncated.

Expected Behavior

• The exported PDF should include all child grid records exactly as they appear in the UI.

Environment

• Kendo UI for Angular Version: 21.3.0
• PDF Export Package Version: 21.3.0
• Angular Version: 20

 

I have attached screenshots showing:

1. The UI where all room records are visible.
2. The generated PDF where the child records are cut off.

Hello Mark,

I am pasting the anwer provided in the private support thread here as well for visibility.

As of now, the PDF export of a Kendo UI for Angular Master-Detail Grid is not supported. This missing functionality is, in fact, a known limitation of the PDF export feature that is documented in the following article:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/export/pdf-export#known-limitations 

At this time, there is unfortunately no built-in mechanism or workaround to achieve PDF export for Master-Detail Grids. The Grid needs to be in a non-master/detail format to be exported to PDF.
