PDF Export

PDF export allows exporting Gantt data to PDF document. You need to use the pdfExport method for exporting. To enable PDF export in the Gantt, set the allowPdfExport to true.

To export data to PDF document, inject the PdfExport module in Gantt.

Note: Currently, we don’t have support for exporting the manually scheduled tasks.
