GridTemplateColumn with <table/> export to PDF

[Scott]

Can I do anything to be able to export a table within a itemplate to PDF?  The objects above the table exports fine, but not the <table/>

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Col1">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div style="text-align:center">
        <asp:Image runat="server" ID="imgTest" Visible="true" />
        </div>

        <div style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;">
        <h1><font color="olive"><asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ltrlDate" /></font></h1>
        <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblTime" />
        </div>

        <!--This does not display in PDF-->
        <table>
        <tr>
            <td>Name</td><td>City</td><td>State</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>John</td><td>Some City</td><td>CA</td>
        </tr>
        </table>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hi Scott,

Please add following to this table and let me know about the result:

    <table>
       <colgroup>
           <col />
           <col />
           <col />
       </colgroup>
        <tr>
            <td>Name</td><td>City</td><td>State</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>John</td><td>Some City</td><td>CA</td>
        </tr>
    </table>      

Sincerely yours,

without the <colgroup/>, the page exports fine but without any table.  I added the <colgroup/> and got this error:

Hello Scott,

Attached to this post you will find a sample application demonstrating export to PDF with table in GridTemplateColumn.ItemTemplate.

When you are exporting to PDF you should have in mind that your RadGrid must be XHTML compliant.
You can find more information here.

Hello Neal,

I have just downloaded the code that I have send on my previous post and tested with Q1 version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and RadGrid is properly exported to PDF.
If you are still experience the problem I will suggest you to open formal support ticket and attach sample application that replicates the issue.
