How to include filter options in the header template for a grid when exporting to PDF. For example, if user has filtered a grid column by say username = 'John', I need to change the header template to contain the text 'Sorted by username: John' in the PDF header.

The filter options should only be displayed in the exported files and not in the webpage. Can it be implemented in both - JavaScript and asp.net?

Hello, Yanesh,

Currently, the Kendo UI Grid PDF export can access only the page and the total number of pages in the template. It can receive a custom value instead of the built-in ones, but the value which is passed will overwrite the built-in ones.

I made an example demonstrating how to access the filter value on the filter event and then change the template with the filter value before exporting:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#events-filter

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#events-pdfExport

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,
Stefan
