# PDF Export Basics

The [`pdf`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/api/gridprops#pdf) property of the Grid component enables you to export the content of the KendoReact Grid to PDF, offering various configuration options for customizing the export process.

## Getting Started

To enable the PDF export, set the Grid [`pdf`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/api/gridprops#pdf) prop to `true` or provide a [`GridProps`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/api/gridprops) configuration. Then handle the [`onPdfExport`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/api/gridprops#onpdfexport) event to perform a smooth asynchronous export using the [`saveGridPDF`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/pdfprocessing/api/savegridpdf) function from the `@progress/kendo-react-pdf` package.

The following example demonstrates basic PDF export, where clicking the **Export to PDF** button generates and downloads a PDF of the Grid data.
