DPF Export returns grid headers but ignores all data.

[Andrew]

I am exporting a jquery grid to PDF with saveAsPD(); I am setting pdf on grid initializing to 

pdf : {
     multiPage: true,
     allPages: false,
     landscape: true,
     repeatHeaders: true,
     scale: 0.5,
     creator: "John Snow",
     margin: { top: "1cm", right: "1cm", bottom: "1cm", left: "1cm" },
 }

 If I am trying to change pdf options, creator for example, the created pdf has just headers and no data.

kendoGrid.setOptions({pdf: {creator: 'Sansa Stark'}});
kendoGrid.saveAsPDF();

The request to the new data is executed but data are not rendered, no a single row :(.

Can anybody help?

P/S Just in case pdf export handler:

pdfExport: (e) => {
    const grid = kendo
        .jQuery(this.gridConfigurationTemplate.nativeElement)
        .data('kendoGrid');
    const removableColumns = [];
    grid.columns.forEach((col, index) => {
        if (!col.ColumnId) {
            removableColumns.push(index);
        }
    });
    if (removableColumns.length) {
        removableColumns.forEach((i) => {
            grid.hideColumn(i);
        });
        e.promise.done(() => {
            removableColumns.forEach((i) => {
                grid.showColumn(i);
            });
        });
    }
},

Hi Andrew,

I have reviewed the provided code and it seems that you are hiding all the columns when the Grid is exported to PDF. 

 if (removableColumns.length) {
            removableColumns.forEach((i) => {
                 grid.hideColumn(i);
            });

Could you please try to comment out the row marked in yellow above and test the behavior?

Here is a Dojo example based on the provided snippet. As you will see, if the mentioned row is removed, the Grid is exported as expected.

If the provided suggestion does not resolve the issue, could you please try to modify the Dojo example in order to replicate the behavior the way it is on your side and send it back? This way we could investigate locally and advise you further.

Thanks for the answer but problem was not there 

I moving  saveAsPDF call to dataBound event  fixed the issue.
