We want to generate PDF files with the grid configuration, i.e. with aggregates, grouping and basic formatting options; expecting can generate an appearence very close how the grid are presented. Thanks.

Further to that (no edit button) HTML HTML5 is the future it is better and more appropriate to output the grid as an option to a html file which again could be opened in Word then converted to pdf. But Csv with headings would be the first thing to do.
Further to that you can't create a pdf in JavaScript to my knowledge.
I think once it is in Excel it can easily be converted to pdf. Export to csv / excel is more important
In business applications functionality like this is almost mandatory and it would be far too cumbersome to develop a million separate reports. I think you should consider handling exporting functionality for excel and pdf.
Also implement Export to Excel as suggested here (http://feedback.kendoui.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2395131-export-grid-to-excel-). This suggestion was declined, because it requires server-side processing, but the MVC wrappers could provide this.
