Changing document width and height while exporting

Before exporting, you can change the height and width of the PDF document. To achieve this, use the height and width properties in the beforeExport event.

This option is only available if enableVirtualization is set to true. In addition, the VirtualScroll and PDFExport modules must be injected into the pivot table.

Before exporting, you can split and export the pivot table columns on each page of the PDF document by using the columnSize property in the beforeExport event.

This option is only available if enableVirtualization is set to true. In addition, the VirtualScroll and PDFExport modules must be injected into the pivot table.

Changing the pivot table style while exporting

The PDF export provides an option to change colors for headers, caption and records in pivot table before exporting. In-order to apply colors, define theme settings in pdfExportProperties object and pass it as a parameter to the pdfExport method.

By default, material theme is applied to exported PDF document.

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.

Export all pages

The pivot engine exports the entire virtual data of the pivot table (i.e. the data that contains all of the records used to render the complete pivot table) as a PDF document. To export just the current viewport of the pivot table, set the exportAllPages property to false. To use the pivot engine export, add the PDFExport module into the pivot table.

By default, the pivot engine export will be performed while virtual scrolling is enabled.

ExportComplete

The event exportComplete is triggered after the pivot table data has been exported to an PDF document. You can use this event to acquire blob stream data for further customization and processing at your end by passing the isBlob parameter as true when using the pdfExport method. It has the following parameters:

  • type - It holds the current export type such as PDF, Excel, and CSV.
  • promise - It holds the promise object for blob data.
