# WebForms ClientExportManager Overview

**RadClientExportManager** for ASP.NET AJAX is a control that allows the user to export a specific DOM element or the entire page to a PDF document, image or scalable vector graphics (SVG) document. It is available since the **Q1 2015** release.

**RadClientExportManager** is built on top of the [ Kendo UI Drawing API ](https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/drawing/arc) and supports compression via the [ JavaScript pako library ](https://github.com/nodeca/pako) . Compression can make a big difference in the output file size when you're using custom TTF fonts or images with alpha channel (i.e. PNGs with transparency).
