Hi @nvtkhanh ,

pdfmake is flexible, so you can do a fair bit with the configuiration. These examples, here, here and here should help get you started.

Cheers,

Thank you for your response @colin

I have played a bit with the styling, however, as shown in the screen shot above, the most important feature to make a lengthy text readable is by having them separated as paragraphs - basically adding new line characters.

I've searched many different resources, but I can't seem to find a reference to having new lines (through DataTables that is). The closest I have got to is Issue 205 on pdfmake's github

Is there an easy way to replace

tags with a new line character?

Hi @nvtkhanh ,

Take a look at this example here. I've changed the export so all spaces in the second column are converted to newlines. You could so something similar, either break after a number of words/characters/etc to get what you want.

Cheers,

Colin
