PDF Cell Style Customization in JavaScript (ES5) Grid control

06 Jun 2023 / 3 minutes to read

Conditional cell formatting

Grid cells in the exported PDF can be customized or formatted using pdfQueryCellInfo event. In this event, we can format the grid cells of exported PDF document based on the column cell value.

In the below sample, we have set the background color for Freight column in the exported document by args.cell and backgroundColor property.
