  I tried to embed the image in the last post but it was not embedded successfully so I am going to share its link so that you could see that example.

  Here is the example image with the related issue. The overflowing text is highlighted in red.

  I have written this code to adjust any no of columns on the pdf. But there is one issue left which is about that data overwriting ( data above on each other ). The code for adjusting any number of column is that

                       customize : function(doc){
                              var colCount = new Array();
                              var length = $('#reports_show tbody tr:first-child td').length;
                              $('#reports_show').find('tbody tr:first-child td').each(function(){
                                  if($(this).attr('colspan')){
                                      for(var i=1;i<=$(this).attr('colspan');$i++){
                                          colCount.push('*');
                                      }
                                  }else{ colCount.push(parseFloat(100 / length)+'%'); }
                              });
                              doc.content[2].table.widths = colCount;
  
                          },
  

  But can you please introduce me with an option that would allow us to avoid overwritten of text ( data above on each other ). Can't we put some styling like CSS in which we use to break the word and come to the next line. Like in css we use word-wrap: break-all or else. Can't we use such option in PDF styling?

  This is a limitation and error in the pdfmake library I'm afraid. It is not a DataTables issue and you would need to raise it in the pdfmake issues list.
