Add the browser ellipsis to the PDF exported file

Hello

Today I noticed a bug in the GRID control.

If it applies formatting so as not to wrap the line.
Then the standard export to PDF incorrectly shows these lines too long.

I have modified this example
https://dojo.telerik.com/@p.korczak@info-kor.pl/aNOvOYIP

by adding a line
toolbar: [{name: "excel"}, {name: "pdf"}],
and see those lines where the description is too long

Hello Paweł,

Currently, the PDF export is not designed to show the browser ellipsis and I recommend using the previously shared approach.

However, I have converted this thread into a feature request. Generally, once such gets popular and its demand is high it will be added to the RoadMap for implementation.

Why should I only take 10 characters from this field?
Maybe 20 and I don't know that.

Correct the Grid control.

Hello Paweł,

Although the visible in the browser ellipsis could not be exported to the PDF file, you can handle the "pdfExport" event of the Grid and manually trim the content of the cells, before the export.

For your convenience, the following is a simple example demonstrating this approach:

https://dojo.telerik.com/uLoDUZuL

       pdfExport: function(e){
            var cells = e.sender.element.find(".nowrap");
            cells.each(function(i, el){
              var cell = $(this);
              var shortTitle = cell.text().slice(0, 10) + "...";
              cell.html(shortTitle);
            })
          }

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Nikolay
