the pdf button is not displayed

obsk

Hi Guys, I have an application that only shows the copy and print buttons, I have all the scripts initialized. How to make it also show the pdf button?

Are you loading the pdfmake and vfs_fonts.js JS?

Not sure its well documented but on the download page you can see they are required required:

One of the PDF button examples will show you the link to the files:

Try loading pdfmake.min.js before datatables.buttons.min.js.

obsk

thanks, awesome! , one last question, I have a hidden column and when I make the export that does not occupy the entire sheet. What is the cause of that?. Regards

allan

It does not occupy the entire sheet? Do you want it to?

Can you link to a test page showing the issue please.

previously occupied the entire width of the sheet,now hide a column from the datatable and do not adjust the width.

tangerine

now hide a column from the datatable

Which column? If it's the first column, your exportOptions columns array should begin at 0.

obsk

Thanks for your response, I hide column 0, because they are keys. now the width does not fit the following columns as shown in the image.

Not sure if the code in this thread works but you might want to give it a try. It uses the customize function to set the column widths.
