Filtered results export to PDF

Beli777

Is there any way that I filter my table then filtered rows export in to pdf? All what PDF button is doing is that it's export all data in table. Sorry for my bad English. This is really urgent. Thanks

I had a similar issue before. The tableTools 'copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf' should provide what you need. After filtering, you should be able to click the 'Save' button and have the PDF option. Make sure flash plugin is working for the browser.

$('example').dataTable({ 
    "dom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
    "tableTools": {
        "sSwfPath": "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/datatables-tabletools/2.1.5/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",
        "aButtons": [
        "copy",
        "print",
        {
            "sExtends":    "collection",
            "sButtonText": "Save",
            "aButtons":    ["csv", "xls", "pdf", "bShowAll": true]
        }
        ]
    }    
});

I implemented this but after i filter results it still export all rows in table. I need to export only filtered rows.

You need to use the oSelectorOpts option to control if the filtered rows, or all rows are included.

Is there any chance to design pdf since all i get is exported results?

As in you want to add design elements to the PDF? You'd need to modify the code to do that. AlivePDF is the libraries used, and you'd need to refer to its API documentation to see how it can be done, but you can get some nice results.
