    The PDF export uses Flash, and Flash is not available on iOS. HTML5 does not currently provide the APIs needed for creating a PDF client-side which is why Flash is still being used there. The only workaround is to request that a server make the PDF for you.

    Thanks Allan for the quick response so it means currently there is no workaround for iOS devices ?

    As I say, the workaround is to make an Ajax request to the server and have it create a PDF for you for download.
