    Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere but I couldn’t find anything.

    I’ve had an issue when making a pdf of the table. I have 6 columns. The 5th column contains a price. The cells that contain 7 digits wrap.
    I’ve tried making the column wider, and the other columns narrower, and changed the font size. That hasn’t helped. Here’s a snap https://prntscr.com/93n0wi
    It’s fine when it prints to my printer.
    Thank you.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Is this the Print to PDF in your browser or are you using some plugin?

    You could maybe try disallowing automatic line breaks in this column, e.g. with some “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress like

    .tablepress-id-123 .column-5 {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

    (Adjust the table ID as necessary.)

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thanks for getting back so quickly.
    Unfortunately that didn’t work.

    I’m using the Print to PDF in your plugin, DataTables Buttons.
    Appreciate your help.
    Cheers

    Hi,

    thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, I don’t know a solution for that PDF creator ?? From what I know, it only takes into the account the data of the table, but not the styling, so that we don’t really have a way of influencing it. Sorry for not having better news here.

    Regards,

    Are you able to tell me the PDF creator so that I could ask them? Thought you may know as you’ve used it in your plugin…

    Hi,

    ah, should have mentioned that, sorry…
    The PDF is created by the DataTables Buttons JS add-on from https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/
