Export Grid to PDF with custom template

[Yan]

Hello guys.

Basically I'm trying to export my grid to PDF and this works just fine simply reading kendo documentation. But when I open this generated PDF, it looks just like a printscreen to me. What I wanna do is change it, use some kind of custom template (e.g html) or something and beautify this.

I'm only using this lines of code for properly working:

var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

kendo.drawing.drawDOM($("#grid")).then(function (group) {
    kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "test.pdf");
});

 

Is there some way of doing this? (Changing this generated PDF layout)

Hello, Yan,

The Grid offers a built-in PDF export which allows certain modifications to be made to the exported document, like a template, a watermark etc:

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/pdf-export

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/pdf-export

Please check all of the built-in options:

Let me know if additional assistance is needed on this matter.

These links all go to 404 pages.

Hello, Lee,

When I tested the links, the first one redirected me to the demo with HTTPS:

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/pdf-export

The last one, redirected me to the pdf configuration that is currently at this address:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/configuration/pdf

However, the second one indeed resulted in a 404. Thank you for reporting it. I have updated your Telerik points accordingly and fixed the previous URL.

Kind Regards,
