I am using datatables to display data to the client.
It has a print button but this is limited as it does not print what is on the screen or images if shown.
If on click of a row I could populate another form formatted as I need.
Then use this on a print button.
Anyone done this or any ideas ?
Cheers

It should print images - that's a bug if it isn't and a test case showing the issue would be great.
You would use
row().data()
to get the data for the row, but how you display that in a form is more or less up to yourself.Allan

Mac just prints columns & text
Same on Andriod.
Also on IOS 11 the print just prints a blank document
I've had a quick look at http://pdfmake.org/playground.html but it looks like you have to repeat whats in the datatables ????
Anyone used it before I get in deep....

There is a refresh, copy to clipboard and CSV button on your page. I don't see a print button. Are you able to add that - I was assuming that you are using
print
?Images in the PDF output are a pita to be honest. You need to base64 encode each image. It isn't something that the
pdfHtml5
button does out of the box I'm afraid.Allan
I have added a print button now.
