    Do you mean you want to twist the table, so the headers are vertical? If so, that would need a reformatting of the data. This thread shows how to get the data from the server (so nothing like what you want), but it does show how you can manipulate the data for the export functions.

    hi @colin,
    when I export data in pdf then the table will look as follow
    ID Name Age City
    1 A 25 C1
    2 B 26 C2

    but I want to show the following format when data exported in a pdf file.

    ID 1 2
    Name A B
    Age 25 26
    City C1 C2

    can we do this ?

    Sorry no - that is not something that DataTables supports at this time.
