DataTables Buttons and PDF Output

    I have been working with DataTable Buttons, in particualr with the PDF output, and have looked at the documentation on the authors page as well as yours. I have two questions/issues: How do you control the heading on the PDF output? Currently it shows the site name and page name, twice! Bit strange. I would like to override that. Second is there a way to change the format of the output, i.e. font size, font color, etc.? Thank you!

    Forgot. Here is a link to the page: https://khmtt.com/start-list/

    What I need is the PDF to show the date the PDF was created, a cleaner heading and I would like the text to be smaller so we can get more lines on a page. Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    For all of these things, I can only refer you do the DataTables Buttons documentation at https://www.datatables.net/extensions/buttons/
    As I’m not the developer of that library (I only make it available as a TablePress Extension), I’m not that familiar with all its options.

    Having said that, it might be easier to generate a PDF file according to your specifications offline (e.g. from Excel or something) and then just offering that for download on the page.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you for your quick response! I will study the datatables docs some more. But can you tell me where you pass the title of the PDF document? Thanks!

    Hi,

    TablePress (or the Extension) don’t really pass the title to the PDF. The DataTables Buttons script uses the value of the page title (i.e. the HTML page’s <title> attribute) for this, as far as I know.
