pdfHtml5 Orientation/Size

billsimmeth

Hello, I am invoking the pdfHtml5 button options 'orientation' and 'pageSize' to produce a print in landscape and on legal paper.

        buttons: [
            {
                extend: 'pdfHtml5',
                orientation: 'landscape',
                pageSize: 'LEGAL'
            }
        ]

The resulting PDF does in fact appear in the proper orientation and pageSize. However, the report does not expand into the additional space provided. It is sized as it would be in portrait mode. The same effect is found in the example on this website: https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/html5/pdfPage.html

Is there a way to get the full page width used? Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately no. The pdfmake library that Buttons uses doesn't allow 100% table width while also having the columns auto sized.

Its something that I hope they'll add in future. There is an open issue about it in their source repo.
