I need to customize the pdf export header by adding the date of the selected datatables calendar.

But it seems to don't work.

So i have the datatables calendar with an input field called #min

<input type="text" id="min" name="min" >

and the custom pdf export button like this:

{ extend: 'pdf', title: 'TITLE DATE IS '+$('#min').val(), text: '<a class="btn" style="color: #FFFFFF;  padding: 0  !important; height: fit-content !important;"><i class="fas fa-file-pdf"></i> PDF</a>', orientation: 'landscape',  
...

in this case, in the pdf i can see the header title without the date selected in the calendar

I also used cookies to store values and get it dynamically but the same, the value is empty

any help
