Having trouble adding table to PDF when exporting

[Kevin Bauer]

I'm currently using the RadGrid's "Export to PDF" functionality to generate a report that is printed and signed by the different department heads in our organization. I'd like to add a header to the first page of the printed report that has the company logo and spaces for the department heads to sign.

I've tried following the suggestion in this thread:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/export-rad-grid-to-excel-pdf-and-ms-word-with-headers.aspx 

Using the test code provided works fine, but when I attempt to add a table to e.RawHTML my additions are not rendered.

I use the following PDFExporting method:

protected void rgReport_PDFExporting(object sender, GridPdfExportingArgs e)
{
    e.RawHTML = "<table><tr><td>Test</td></tr></table>" + e.RawHTML;
}

The outputted pdf has the contents of the radgrid, but the table with the word "test" in it, which should appear at the top of the document, is not there.

I imagine the problem has to do with the PDF export requiring valid XHTML, but from what I can see my markup should be valid. Can someone let me know what I'm missing here?

Hi Kevin,

Please examine the Exporting HTML tables section in the following topic:
RadGrid PDF Export

I hope this helps.

That did the trick. The problem was that I didn't have the <colgroup> tags.
