Cannot get the PDF button to show on any browser

I have looked at the button config tutorials throughout this website including this one

https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/initialisation/simple.html

However i have not been able to get it the button to work. All other buttons work completely fine.

[
        {
            extend:    'copyHtml5',
            text:      '<i class="fa fa-files-o"></i>',
            titleAttr: 'Copy',
            className: 'export-copy',
            exportOptions: {
                columns: ':visible'
            }
        },
        {
            extend:    'excelHtml5',
            text:      '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i>',
            className: 'export-xls',
            titleAttr: 'Excel',
            exportOptions: {
                columns: ':visible'
            }
        },
        {
            extend:    'csvHtml5',
            text:      '<i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i>',
            titleAttr: 'CSV',
            className: 'export-csv',
            exportOptions: {
                columns: ':visible'
            }
        },
        {
            extend:    'print',
            text:      '<i class="fa fa-file-pdf-o"></i>',
            titleAttr: 'PDF',
            className: 'export-print',
            orientation: 'landscape',
            exportOptions: {
                columns: ':visible'
            }
        },
//I have tried both pdf and pdfHtml5 extensions but both do not work
        {
            extend:    'pdf',
            text:      '<i class="fa fa-file-pdf-o"></i>',
            titleAttr: 'PDF',
            className: 'export-pdf',
            exportOptions: {
                columns: ':visible'
            }
        }

Here are my cdn's:

WebCodex

Where are your PDF cdns?

This has been resolved. I read through other recent questions and found that i had not used the download builder correctly as my cdn's were not correct.

I needed to include pdfmake-0.1.18 in the source.

WebCodex had also pointed this out which i realised when i posted this
