DataTables' Buttons extension doesn't have a print pdf option. It has a print view option and a pdf export option. If you want to print a pdf with a single click you'd need to add that ability - I'm not sure how you'd do that since you can't write Javascript for the pdf viewer from the browser...

Allan ,u r not getting me ,
let me rephrase problem ,suppose i have view where two calendar exist ,one for start and second is for end date .

when user select dates ,it print between two dates on button click.

what is best possible way to do so.

You can create a custom filtering plug-in if you need to filter a table over a range of data. This example shows how it can be done with simple integers, but you could extend that to work with dates if you need.

Then when you use Buttons to export the data, it will (by default) only export the filtered data.

If you need an example of that written, it would be covered by the quick support options.
