Show Message During PDF Export in KendoReact Grid

Updated on Nov 20, 2025

Environment

Product Version	13.0.0
Product	Progress® KendoReact Grid

Description

How can I show a message while the KendoReact Grid is exporting data to PDF? Specifically, I need to:

• Display a loading or progress message when the user clicks the export button
• Keep the message visible during the PDF generation process
• Hide the message after the PDF export is complete

Solution

Use the GridPDFExport ref to initiate the export and set a state variable with the message before calling the save method. After the file is saved, use the callback parameter to change the message back to an empty string or hide the element showing the message.
