I am currently using the wpdatatables plugin with the addon for left-to-right cascade filtering.
I have a problem with pagination.
The pagination works just fine, but the problem is, when I paginate my table to, let's say, 50 or 100 rows for each page, the output PDF file contains not the entire table (424 rows exactly), but only those 50 or 100 rows that are being displayed on the frontend.
You see, I need to use pagination since my table is very long, and it is not practical for site visitors to scroll down that much. In the meantime, I need the plugin to output the entire table to PDF even though part of it is currently being shown on the page.
I believe it is only common sense to expect the plugin to behave in the way that I need and have tried to describe above.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this problem.
Fyi, I have left pagination off on the site in case a visitor needs to output my resume to PDF. Please contact me if you would like me to turn it on for testing purposes etc.
If you take a look at our documentation about import tools you will see this notice.
For tables with server-side processingonly the visible rows will be exported to any format. This means that if you want the whole table to be exported (or copied to clipboard), you would need to choose “Show All” feature in the “show … entries” block, and then do the export:
As I can see all of your tables are manually created tables , and manual tables are server side tables.
What is the alternative to "server-side tables" or "manual tables"? Is there a way I can create and/or manage my tables which is not "server-side" or "manual" by your standards?
And I should repeat that this restriction is a design flaw.
Unfortunately like it is said in the documentation Table Tools is an additional block of buttons that provides some extra features for the tables: export to PDF, export to CSV, export to Excel, print view, toggle for column visibility for front-end users, etc. This functionality is based on 3rd party HTML5 library. There are some limitations in this library like I mentioned it below so unfortunately for now there is no workaround.

HI Salih,
Thank you for your purchase.
Sorry for the delayed reply, we did not work in past 4 days due the national holidays.
As I can see you have some JS errors on you page (attachment ) which may cause this issue.
Can you please tell me is this is happening also in the backend or just in the front end.
Happy holidays and best regards.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović

Hello Bogdan,
Thank you for your quick response.
What is the alternative to "server-side tables" or "manual tables"? Is there a way I can create and/or manage my tables which is not "server-side" or "manual" by your standards?
