Export current page

PDF export provides an option to export the current page into PDF. To export current page, define the exportType to CurrentPage.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Page, ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowPaging: true,
    allowPdfExport: true,
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },
        { field: 'CustomerID', width: 140, headerText: 'Customer ID', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, format: 'C' },
        { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', textAlign: 'Right', width: 140, format: 'yMd' }
    ],
    height: 260
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.toolbarClick = function(args) {
    if (args['item'].id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
        var exportProperties = {
            exportType: 'CurrentPage'
        };
        grid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
    }
}

Export the selected records only

You can export the selected records data by passing it to exportProperties.dataSource Property in the toolbarClick event.

In the below exporting demo, We can get the selected records using getSelectedRecords method and pass the selected data to PdfExport or excelExport property.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.ExcelExport, ej.grids.Page, ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Filter);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    {
        dataSource: data,
        allowPdfExport: true,
        allowExcelExport: true,
        allowPaging: true,
        allowFiltering: true,
        toolbar: ['PdfExport','ExcelExport'],
        pageSettings: { pageCount: 5, pageSize: 5 },
        columns: [
            { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 150 },
            { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 130, format: 'yMd', textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'Freight', width: 120, format: 'C2', textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'ShipCountry', visible: false, headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 }
        ],
    });
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.toolbarClick = (args: ClickEventArgs) => {
    if (args.item.id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
        let pdfdata = grid.getSelectedRecords();
            let exportProperties = {
                dataSource: pdfdata,
            };
            grid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
        }
    else if (args.item.id === 'Grid_excelexport') {
        let exceldata = grid.getSelectedRecords();
            let exportProperties = {
                dataSource: exceldata,
            };
            grid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
        }
    }

Export filtered data only

You can export the filtered data by defining the resulted data in exportProperties.dataSource before export.

In the below Pdf exporting demo, We have gotten the filtered data by applying filter query to the grid data and then defines the resulted data in exportProperties.dataSource and pass it to pdfExport method.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.Page, ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Filter);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid(
    {
        dataSource: data,
        allowPdfExport: true,
        allowPaging: true,
        allowFiltering: true,
        toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
        pageSettings: { pageCount: 5, pageSize: 5 },
        columns: [
            { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 150 },
            { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 130, format: 'yMd', textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'Freight', width: 120, format: 'C2', textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'ShipCountry', visible: false, headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 }
        ],
    });
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

grid.toolbarClick = function(args) {
    if (args.item.id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
        let pdfdata;
        let query = grid.renderModule.data.generateQuery(); // get grid corresponding query
        for (var i = 0; i < query.queries.length; i++) {
            if (query.queries[i].fn == 'onPage') {
                query.queries.splice(i, 1);    // remove page query to get all records
                break;
            }
        }
        let fdata = new ej.data.DataManager({ json: data }).executeQuery(query).then((e) => {
            pdfdata = e.result;   // get all filtered records
            let exportProperties = {
                dataSource: pdfdata,
            };
            grid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
        }).catch((e) => true);
    }
}

Export hidden columns

PDF export provides an option to export hidden columns of Grid by defining the includeHiddenColumn as true.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Page, ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowPaging: true,
    allowPdfExport: true,
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },
        { field: 'CustomerID', width: 140, headerText: 'Customer ID', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, format: 'C' },
        { field: 'ShipCountry', width: 140, headerText: 'Ship Country', visible: false },
        { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', textAlign: 'Right', width: 140, format: 'yMd' }
    ],
    height: 260
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.toolbarClick = function(args) {
    if (args['item'].id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
        var exportProperties = {
            includeHiddenColumn: true        };

        grid.pdfExport(exportProperties);
    }
}

Show or hide columns

You can show a hidden column or hide a visible column while exporting the grid using toolbarClick and pdfExportComplete events.

In the toolbarClick event, based on args.item.id as Grid_pdfexport. We can show or hide columns by setting column.visible property to true or false respectively.

In the pdfExportComplete event, We have reversed the state back to the previous state.

In the below example, we have CustomerID as a hidden column in the grid. While exporting, we have changed CustomerID to visible column and ShipCity as hidden column.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Page, ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowPaging: true,
    allowPdfExport: true,
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },
        { field: 'CustomerID', width: 140, headerText: 'Customer ID', visible: false },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', textAlign: 'Right', width: 140 }
    ],
    height: 260
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.toolbarClick = function(args){
    if (args['item'].id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
        grid.columns[1].visible = true;
        grid.columns[3].visible = false;
        grid.pdfExport();
    }
}
grid.pdfExportComplete = () => {
        grid.columns[1].visible = false;
        grid.columns[3].visible = true;
    }

Define file name

You can assign the file name for the exported document by defining fileName property in PdfExportProperties.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.Page);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowPaging: true,
    pageSettings: { pageSize: 6 },
    allowPdfExport: true,
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },

        let exportProperties = {
           fileName:"new.pdf"
        };
        grid.pdfExport(exportProperties);

Font customization

Default fonts

By default, grid uses Helvetica font in the exported document. You can change the default font by using pdfExportProperties.theme property. The available default fonts are,

Helvetica
TimesRoman
Courier
Symbol
ZapfDingbats

The code example for changing default font,

    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) }
        }
    };

Add custom font

You can change the default font of Grid header, content and caption cells in the exported document by using pdfExportProperties.theme property.

In the following example, we have used Advent Pro font to export the grid with Hungarian fonts.

index.js
index.html
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.PdfExport, ej.grids.Page, ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Group);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowPaging: true,
    allowPdfExport: true,
    allowGrouping: true,
    toolbar: ['PdfExport'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Rendelés azonosító', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },
        { field: 'CustomerID', width: 140, headerText: 'Ügyfél-azonosító', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'fuvar', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, format: 'C' },
        { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Rendelés dátuma', textAlign: 'Right', width: 140, format: 'yMd' }
    ],
    height: 260
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.toolbarClick= function(args){
    if (args['item'].id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
        var pdfExportProperties = {
            theme: {
                header: {font:  new ej.pdfexport.PdfTrueTypeFont(window.adventProFont, 12) },
                caption: { font: new ej.pdfexport.PdfTrueTypeFont(window.adventProFont, 10) },
                record: { font: new ej.pdfexport.PdfTrueTypeFont(window.adventProFont, 9) }
            }
        };
        grid.pdfExport(pdfExportProperties);
    }
}
