I'm testing your free wpdatatables version before purchasing the full version.
I have created a table with Hebrew characters and exported it to csv. excel, print and it works just fine. However when I export it to pdf the hebrew characters are not encoded correctly.
Table Tools consists of a block of buttons that provides additional features for the tables: export to PDF, export to CSV, export to Excel, print view, toggle for column visibility for front-end users, etc. These functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library, and they have some limitations:
Generated PDF, XLS, CSV are not customizable. Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed.
Conditional formatting is not reflected in any of generated export files.
All limitations and features can be seen in our documentation.
Now, since this is a third party library, there is nothing we can do about it, unfortunately. For customers that need tables printed out in PDF, we always recommend using WP Advanced PDF plugin. You can modify it, add logos, and so much more than with the built-in library.
