Kendo Grid PDFExport does not apply template with paperSize "auto"

[Taha]

I am using Kendo grid jquery option pdf export and I am noticing that it does not apply template when the paperSize is set to "auto", however when I change it to "A4" it does apply.

Can anyone guide me what is the problem with "auto" ? I have a wide grid that cuts off when I set "A4" or "A3" with the landscape mode.

Hello, Taha,

For the page template to work, it requires the use of either a pageSize or another page breaking mechanism such as the forcePageBreak:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/drawing/pdf-output/page-templates

Some things you can do to work around this specification:

• Provide a non-existent selector in the forcePageBreak property.

Runnable example: https://dojo.telerik.com/ENEXuSaH

• Set the paperSize option to a precalculated width and height
  
        Runnable example:   https://dojo.telerik.com/@bubblemaster/UmOZoLiM
  
  

   var width = $("#my-element").width() + "pt";
  var height = $("#my-element").height() + "pt";
  kendo.drawing.drawDOM("#myelement", {
            multiPage:false,
            paperSize:[width, height],
            margin:"2.5cm",
            scale:.7,
            template: $("#page-template").html()
  }).then(function(group){
            group.options.pdf.multiPage = false;
            kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "filename.pdf");
  });
