Hi Pritam,

You can try setting the desired styles in the ItemCommand event when ExportToPdf command is fired.

Here is a sample for looping through all header cells applying some custom styles:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExportToPdfCommandName)
    {
        var columns = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns;
        foreach (GridColumn col in columns)
        {
            var headerCell = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetHeaderCellByColumnUniqueName(col.UniqueName);
            headerCell.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left;
            headerCell.Style.Add("padding-left", "5px");
        }
    }
}

Please give it a try and let me know if how it goes!

Kind regards,
Doncho
