Export Editor tables to PDF

Hello,

 

The PDF export component does not seem to handle tables that are in the editor content. In the Stackblitz example I included, which is based off of the PDF export demo under the Editor component, the table borders do not show in the editor and in the exported PDF. In my own practice, any editor version 8 and above will not export the tables to PDF. In fact, the exported PDF is blank no matter what is in the editor. Here is what I am using. When I change the editor version to 0.7.0, the PDF export works (albeit without table support). I would like to be able to export the tables that inside of the editor's content to PDF. This problem only started happening after I updated my editor to versions 0.8.0 and above.  


<kendo-pdf-export #pdf paperSize="Letter" margin="1cm" [scale]="scale">
                    <kendo-editor #editor iframe="false" style="align-self: auto; padding: 20px; height: 90vh; width: 24cm; margin: 0 auto;" [(value)]="value" 
                    (dragover)="onDragOver(event)" (drop)="onDrop(event)">

Hi Aidan,

Thank you for the provided runnable project.

By default, the Editor table styles are applied when the [iframe] option is set to true. Then the tables are rendered correctly in the Editor. Please, check the following example:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-amnblu?file=app/app.component.ts

However, there is a known limitation regarding PDF Export functionality where the <iframe> is not a supported element. Please, refer to the following article for more information:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/drawing/limitations-browser-support/#toc-elements-and-styles

That is why setting the [iframe] to false doesn't show any table in the Editor content and further in the PDF document. A workaround that I can provide is to apply the needed CSS styles for the tables (the same are applied if the iframe=true). This will ensure that they will be visible in the Editor and in the exported document:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-nkqlac?file=app/app.component.ts

If you have the time, please submit a new feature request in the Feedback Portal, by describing the dedicated PDF Export component for the Editor component, to help us estimate the customer demand for such a feature and prioritize accordingly when updating our Roadmap.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Martin
