Hello Partha,

It is possible to export the table in the commanditem template if you follow the guidelines in the PDF export help topic:
PDF export

I'm afraid this content won't make it to the exported file when using the CSV format. If you need to include additional information in the CSV file you can add it on GridExporting event.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel for the reply.Can you provide an example? Also we are using the Telerik.Webcontrols namespace and i cannot find the GridExporting event there .can you help?

thanks ,
Partha.

Hello Partha,

There are a few rules that should be followed when exporting HTML tables to PDF:

• The table should define <colgroup> and <col> elements
• The number of col elements should be equal to the number of the columns in the table body
• Width in pixels (or another absolute units) should be set to the table

You can find a working code in the following forum thread.
GridTemplateColumn with <table/> export to PDF

Thanks,
Princy.
