I dont know why but posting in this forum has been like talking to myself, but am hoping some one wud suggesting sth this time.

Basically I hav two tables in one page and with all the TableTools operation I want both the tables, i.e when exporting to pdf, exel and csv, and printing.

    As far as I can see, the TableTools plugin plugs into 1 DataTable, so I think it is not possible.

    With 50+ posts in the forum every week day, it is exceptionally difficult for me to keep up with all threads and post individual replies at the same time as trying to make a living! In fact, impossible. I do try my best though... Its only with the help of people such as koosvdkolk that I'm able to keep it going.

    As koosvdkolk says, TableTools will only operate on an individual table. However, what you are looking for is perfectly possible, but you would need to make a couple of changes to the TableTools Javascript and AS3 to get the information from multiple tables and put it into the same PDF. The fnClick function for the PDF export and the internal _fnGetDataTablesData method are where I would suggest starting to look at this.
