TableTools Plugin and tables containing images

I should start by saying I have never used DataTables, but if it's able to handle what I need it to do, donation to the beer fund is on the way.

I have an application that I'm building the front end for with Bootstrap 3. I could really use a grid component that does these things:

1. Can be made to work with Bootstrap 3 (seems possible from the forum posts I've read)
2. Sortable, Filterable, Paginated (So far so good)
3. Can include a column of images. One 70px square image per row. No need for sorting on this column.
4. Can save the table as a PDF, including the column with the images.

Can DataTables + TableTools do all that? And if so, I see that one of the donation options includes the ability to pay for support. What are the chances that an hour of support time would buy a quick Bootstrap 3 proof of concept meeting the above criteria?

    It can do all apart from point 4. The PDF export on the client-side does not include images in the output. It would require a significant amount of work at add that ability (I suspect a couple of days).

    Is most of that work within the actionscript of the AlivePDF component, or are significant changes to DataTables/TableTools necessary also?

    I ask, because I may be able to sponsor the work, either by you or another developer... I'd just need more information about where the changes need to take place.
