So I've been searching for an answer to this problem for a while and none of the other posts offer a suitable solution.
I want to make a pdf export of a grid, but the pdf needs to have a title page. I've tried this using drawDOM, the PDF function of the grid and using forced page breaks, but I don't get the result I want. I've made a dummy example in the dojo.

https://dojo.telerik.com/IFASUwud

What I want is for the kendo-template to be placed before the grid gets drawn, so I can get a title page. Or even better, to make the drawing of the grid start on the 2nd page of the PDF. When I tried this with the PDF functions of the grid I got the exact same problem.

Depening on which div I select in drawDOM function, I either get a working title page but the multipaging gets mest up, or the multipage works but I can't get a title page because the grid will always be displayed on top.

Hope you guys can help!

Hello Martijn,

Thank you for the provided example.

Using kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs will not page the Grid properly. You can refer to this How-To article demonstrating how to export all the Grid pages with their content. For your title page, you will need to add a separate DOM element ( in the example - div#header ) with the content for the title page, which will be exported along with the Grid.

I hope I was helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Martin
