I'm a newbie in coding, but I have som friends who can help me.
My site consists of tables with data fro mysql and looks fine getting into tables.
Every monday I have a newsletter i send to subscribers.
My concern is about how I can customize the pdf export, because i need people to be able to click on the links in the pdf, change the font color, design it to look good, insert a header image
Unfortunately it is not possible to customize the export in the 3rd party HTML5 library we're using.
There are some limitations in this library we will emphasize for your awareness:
For tables with server-side processing, only the visible rows will be exported to any format. If you want the entire table to be exported (or copied to a clipboard), you need to choose the “Show All” feature in the “show … entries” block, and then do the export.
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.
Other front-end extensions cannot be combined with Table Tools. If you have row grouping enabled for the table, or there are some customizations you did yourself, they won’t be reflected in the generated Excel, CSV or PDF document, nor in the clipboard.
When you export tables with the wpDataTables plugin, please note that you can export values, but not formulas. WpDataTables doesn’t support exporting formulas, so a Formula column will be exported only with values; and any calculations of Average, MIN, MAX, and Total will not be exported at all.
Exporting images is not possible at the moment.
You can’t export columns that are hidden – they will not be visible in any exporting or printing tool
Yes, of course, you can simply click on the table tools button on the backend as well to export the table, and then disable the table tools again when you are finished.

Hi Blaženka,
Thanks for Your answer. It must be a feature request.
Is it possible to extract data as csv from a table from the plugin, rather from the frontend?
