let pdfExportProperties: PdfExportProperties = {
    header: {
        fromTop: 0,
        height: 130,
        contents: [
            {
                type: 'Text',
                value: "Northwind Traders",
                position: { x: 0, y: 50 },
                style: { textBrushColor: '#000000', fontSize: 13 }
            },

        ]
    }
}

How to draw a line in header/footer

You can add line either in header or footer of the exported PDF document like in the below code example.

Supported line styles:

  • dash
  • dot
  • dashdot
  • dashdotdot
  • solid
let pdfExportProperties: PdfExportProperties = {
    header: {
        fromTop: 0,
        height: 130,
        contents: [
            {
                type: 'Line',
                style: { penColor: '#000080', penSize: 2, dashStyle: 'Solid' },
                points: { x1: 0, y1: 4, x2: 685, y2: 4 }
            }
        ]
    }
}

Add page number in header/footer

You can add page number either in header or footer of exported PDF document like in the below code example.

  • UpperLatin - A, B, C,
  • LowerRoman - i, ii, iii,
  • UpperRoman - I, II, III,
  • Number - 1,2,3.
 let pdfExportProperties: PdfExportProperties = {
    header: {
        fromTop: 0,
        height: 130,
        contents: [
            {
                type: 'PageNumber',
                pageNumberType: 'Arabic',
                format: 'Page {$current} of {$total}', //optional
                position: { x: 0, y: 25 },
                style: { textBrushColor: '#ffff80', fontSize: 15, hAlign: 'Center' }
            }
        ]
    }
}

The below code illustrates the PDF export customization options.

Changing default font while exporting

By default, the pivot table uses “Helvetica” font in the exported document. But it can be changed using the theme property in pdfExportProperties.

The available built-in fonts are,

  • Helvetica
  • TimesRoman
  • Courier
  • Symbol
  • ZapfDingbats 
import { PdfStandardFont, PdfFontFamily, PdfFontStyle } from '@syncfusion/ej2-pdf-export'; 

    ...

    let pdfExportProperties: PdfExportProperties = {
         theme: { 
                header: {font:  new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 11, PdfFontStyle.Bold) }, 
                caption: { font: new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 9) }, 
                record: { font: new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 10) } 
            } 
    };

Adding custom font while exporting

In addition to existing built-in fonts, custom fonts can also be used. The custom font should be in Base64 format and mention it in PdfTrueTypeFont class. In the following example, we have used Advent Pro font family that supports Hungarian language.

The non-English alphabets can also be exported properly by setting its appropriate font.

Virtual Scroll Data

You can export the pivot table virtual scroll data as PDF document by using PivotEngine export without any performance degradation. To enable PivotEngine export in the pivot table, set the allowPdfExport as true. You need to use the exportToPDF method for PivotEngine export.

To use PivotEngine export, You need to inject the PDFExport module in pivot table. PivotEngine export will be performed while enabling virtual scrolling by default

Repeat row headers

Repeat row headers on each page can be achieved using PivotEngine export option. To disable repeat row headers, you need to set allowRepeatHeader to false in beforeExport event. You need to use the exportToPDF method for PivotEngine export.

To use PivotEngine export, You need to inject the PDFExport module in pivot table. By default, repeat row headers is enabled in the PivotEngine export.
